About Us

2024 is an important year for Miami Beach Kizomba Festival as it marks our 10th year. When we started in 2014, we set out to bridge the gap between Africa and the African diaspora by sharing the music, dance and culture of various African countries and encouraging cross-cultural understanding.

MBKF gave us that and so much more. It has become a beacon of celebration and meeting point for 1000+ people from all over the world. We work hard to bring this festival to you and this year will be no different. It will be our last edition and the best one yet!

We count on you to come and celebrate a festival that has become a staple in the community. To finish in style, we are going back to the MBKF you fell in love with…we are going back to the roots!

We are bringing workshops back with knowledgeable dance instructors. And of course, we got our pool parties with famed DJs, night parties with music concerts, plus beach, fun and sun.

See you in Miami for the final chapter!

Our Team

We’re a small, friendly and talented team. Our backgrounds are diverse, our focus is committed. We put our passion into developing a memorable MBKF each year!
