Aruban talent at Miami Carnival helped power the technical production behind the 2026 Miami Broward Carnival, according to a report by 24ora highlighting island professional John Baeza’s work on the event.
Aruban professional takes key production role
24ora reported that Baeza coordinates and supervises major technical elements for stage productions in the United States. His responsibilities include stage setup, lighting, video screens and the broader technical management required to keep a large live production running.
The report presented Baeza’s role as an example of Aruban expertise operating behind the scenes at international entertainment events. It did not identify every member of the production team or attribute the full event production to Baeza alone.
Carnival weekend draws Caribbean performers and crowds
The Miami Broward Carnival program began with J’ouvert activities on Saturday morning and continued Sunday with the Grand Parade and main concert. The source counted 13 participating groups in the parade, accompanied by sound trucks, costumes and soca music.
A post-parade Bacchanal Sunday program featured DJs and bands including King Kembe, DJ Big Boss, DJ Stakz, Pumpa, Iwer George, TVICE and King James. The event drew a large crowd celebrating Caribbean culture in South Florida.
