Fete de la Musique takes over the streets tonight

Tonight is the night! La Fete de la Musique is going to take place all over Coconut Grove! Just like in France, where this music festival started, starting at 5 pm today, until 11 pm, stroll Coconut Grove and enjoy live performances all over the village!

The event goes on rain or shine, all musicians are under tents or under cover some way or other. If you arrive early we recommend you check out Nikolas Metaxas at the Mayfair. Later the Jacob Jeffries band will rock the promenade as the star headliner. Also the Flamenco dancers of Bailes Ferrer will delight everyone from 7 pm on. They have been paired with a percussionist named Eddies Miami Groove at the Mayfair Atrium.

On Commodore Plaza there is Main Street performing at Wines Etc... with Cleveland Jones and Jessie Jackson doing sets -- that's three bands all night across from Lokal Burgers. Nine restaurant and bars doing promotions ranging from free champagne to extended Happy Hours -- so people can come, see the Fete and cheer the Heat on to victory.. Think of the Fete as a Heat pre-victory party!

Some cool bands, including an all girl "tween" band called That Girl of 305, will play at CocoWalk out front near the info booth. It's like the Del Rubio Sisters at age 15!  A Goose Cut Loose, a band made up of all cops, will take the stage at 6 pm. They play now at John Martin's and Harold at Goose liked them and hopefully they'll be a regular.

We have a full map of times and locations for tonight's La Fete de la Musique. It's here. Print it out and enjoy!
