Miami Beach Youth Music Festival

Young musicians from across South Florida will showcase their diverse talents across three dynamic stages at the historic Miami Beach Bandshell. The 9th Annual Miami Beach Youth Music Festival returns on Saturday, March 8, featuring performances spanning rock, jazz, hip-hop and classical genres.

This year's festival introduces three distinct performance spaces: the main Bandshell Burris stage, the Modia acoustic stage, and the Paseiro Stage piano bar—each named in honor of influential Miami Beach music educators. The veteran Miami Beach Rock Ensemble headlines a lineup of over 35 acts, including school ensembles, solo artists and emerging bands.

Beyond the music, Bandshell Park will host family activities throughout the day, including an art tent by the Bass Museum, kids' yoga sessions and an Imagination Playground. As evening approaches, a middle school DJ will provide house music, maintaining the festival's energy into the night.

While admission is free with RSVP, attendees are encouraged to make donations supporting music programs in Miami Beach public schools.
