The Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts of Miami-Dade County (@arshtcenter) is pleased to announce Pride Marketplace, a new and free outdoor event on June 26, to kick off the return of CommuniTea Dance, the Center’s annual LGBTQ+ Pride Month celebration.
From 3 to 7 p.m., the entire community is invited to enjoy Pride Marketplace on the Arsht Center’s Thomson Plaza for the Arts. Guests of all ages will be able to peruse and support a curated selection of local LGBTQ+ artisans, creatives and small businesses while enjoying food and drink specials and tunes by DJ Hottpants. Families are invited to partake in fun arts-and-crafts activities with free, limited-capacity Pour Your Art Out workshops throughout the afternoon.
For those looking to extend the fun, CommuniTea Dance features an evening of performances beginning at 6:30 p.m. where the audience joins the artists on the Center’s Ziff Ballet Opera House stage.
CommuniTea Dance will feature a stellar lineup of South Florida-based LGBTQ+ artists, including international superstar DJ Citizen Jane, choreographers Alaina Andersen (of Miami City Ballet) and Randolph Ward (creative director of RTW Dance Productions), plus a soul-inspired rock ’n’ roll concert by Patrick & The Swayzees that will make audiences twist and shout!
Tickets to CommuniTea Dance are $15* and can be purchased now at arshtcenter.org or by calling the Arsht Center box office at (305) 949-6722.
