Best Of The Best returns to its traditional date of May 29 this year. The popular annual show will be held again at Bayfront Park in downtown Miami with Beres Hammond as headliner.
The previous show was last held in October under strict Covid-19 guidelines. With uncertainty around the pandemic easing considerably, promoters are expecting a bumper crowd as the United States celebrates Memorial Day.
Steven “Jabba” Beckford, a member of the organizing team since Best Of The Best’s inception in 2007, is again head reins-man for the event. This year is no different from 2021 in terms of preparation.
“To be honest, we still have to be safe and take the necessary precautions. Therefore, we will have sanitizing stations and necessary personnel to keep bathroom stalls clean. In October, we had a successful music fest despite the Covid-19 regulations and we intend to continue this year,” he said.
The 2020 event was cancelled due to Covid.
Hammond, who commands a massive following in South Florida, heads the bill along with Cham, Mr. Vegas, Chris Martin, Yaksta, Lyrikal, Pressure and soca star Patrice Roberts.
Best Of The Best, along with Miami Carnival and the Grace Jamaican Jerk Festival, are the biggest Caribbean events in South Florida.
