May is Haitian Heritage Month, and Miami Book Fair has partnered with Sosyete Koukouy to present the Little Haiti Book Festival. Miami is home to the largest population of Haitians and Haitian Americans outside of Haiti. A wide variety of cultural, literary and children's activities are planned for the one-and-a-half-day festival. Roundtable discussions and author presentations in Creole will be simultaneously translated into English. We hope you'll join us in Little Haiti!

May 27, 6 - 10 p.m. & May 28, 11 a.m. - 7 p.m.
Little Haiti Cultural Center, 212 N.E. 59th Terrace, Miami

Little Haiti Book Festival is made possible in part by the generous support of the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation, the Green Family Foundation and the Miami-Dade County Department of Cultural Affairs and the Cultural Affairs Council, the Miami-Dade County Mayor and Board of County Commissioners.

Alan Lomax made it his lifelong mission to archive and share traditional music from around the world. He spent decades in the field, recording heralded artists like Muddy Waters and Woody Guthrie, as well as far more obscure musicians, from the British Isles to Haiti. He also created systems to classify this music and explore the links between cultures.
