South Florida’s deep Cuban cultural roots will once again take center stage as the Miami Marlins host their annual Cuban Heritage Celebration at loanDepot park on Saturday, May 23, bringing together baseball fans, families, music lovers, and community organizations for an evening centered around cultural identity, entertainment, and community awareness.

Beyond baseball, the event reflects the growing importance of cultural celebrations that help preserve traditions, strengthen community pride, and connect newer generations with Miami’s multicultural identity. Organizers say the evening is designed to create an experience that extends beyond the game itself through postgame entertainment, community engagement, and cultural programming.
Following the game, attendees will be able to enjoy live performances on the West Plaza featuring Wow Popy, Divan, Dale Pututi, and Nesty during a postgame celebration presented by Celsius.
