Produced by 501(c3) New Land Theatricals, with generous support from presenting sponsors Baptist Health, ATR Luxury Homes and ADONEL Companies, and partners HOLA! and Loud and Live. The evening will feature performances by award-winning artist Aymée Nuviola and her band in a special tribute to Celia Cruz, as well as New Land Dance Company, América Viva the Class Dance Program and 2025 honoree the Latin Grammy Cultural Foundation and the Miami Children’s Chorus. Together, they will celebrate the vibrant cultural legacy of the Americas through music, dance and artistic expression.

A highlight of the event is the presentation of the 2025 Inca Garcilaso Medal, honoring institutions whose cultural contributions inspire and promote the arts and education. This year’s recipients include the Celia Cruz Foundation, preserving the legacy of Celia Cruz in her centennial year; the Latin Grammy Cultural Foundation, celebrating a decade of fostering Latin music talent; and Miami Children’s Chorus, marking 30 years of nurturing young voices.

Join us for this inspiring celebration to honor and support the performing arts and educational programs, creating transformative opportunities for Miami-Dade’s youth.
