The flavors are sizzling with cultural diversity for the annual Creole Food Festival. This national festival makes a stop in Miami and will showcase an all star lineup of black and brown female chefs, cuisines and beverages from the Caribbean, Africa, Latin America, American South and South America on Saturday, March 18, 2023 at the Ancient Spanish Monastery, 16711 West Dixie Highway, North Miami Beach, FL from 3pm to 8pm.

“The term Creole is a person of mixed European and Black descent, especially in the Caribbean. The Creole Food Festival was created as a platform to highlight the talents of black and brown chefs. With the culinary industry being predominantly male and white, we were intentional about showcasing female chefs of color especially since we are celebrating International Women’s Month. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, only 22.8% of chefs and head cooks in 2021 were women. We want to showcase the multicultural salad that Miami has to offer while celebrating what unites us through food,” says co-founder Fabrice Armand.

Founded in 2018 in New York City by Fabrice Armand and Elkair Balla, the Creole Food Festival uses culinary excellence as a unifying thread that will include new inspirations from renowned chefs:

Christina Coupet (Haiti)- Food Network Chopped Grand Champion 21

Grace Ramirez (Venezuela)-World Wide Ambassador Zacapa Rum

Airis Johnson (New Orleans)-Food Network Chopped Champion

Cynthia Verna aka Chef Thia (Haiti)-Winner of Embassy Chef Challenge

Amina Ly (West-Africa, French, Italian)-Contestant Food Network Alex vs America

Creole Food Festival will also feature immersive activations of food sampling, exotic beverages and food demos with live performances by latin artists Tokyo Dro, Yazzi & Abdiflow and DJ Frankie Mix Alot with local chef village and entertainment for the entire family to enjoy.
