The Tampa Bay Caribbean Heritage Festival will be held on June 7 at the University Area Community Development Center from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m.
Also new this year is an art show featuring young up-and-coming talent right out of high school.
“That opportunity isn’t exactly open to a lot of underserved communities, such as Caribbean American communities, and this event helps serve as a platform to get them out into the community and have them be better seen,” said BDCHS student and artist, Gavin Quijano.
