South Florida Folklife Center. Harvest Festival - 1989-1993

The Harvest Festival was held annually at the Dade County Youth Fairground at Tamiami Park. Intended to acquaint South Floridians with local history and local traditional culture, the festival attracted a broad multi-ethnic, family-oriented audience. Between 1989 and 1993, the festival was sponsored by the Historical Association of Southern Florida (now HistoryMiami Museum), which organized presentations by folklorists and a broad range of local folk artists such as music performances, furniture- and doll-making demonstrations, and workshops on calligraphy.
