Under a sparkling crescent moon at the enchanting Miami Beach Botanical Garden, passionate poet Aria was joined by new co-hosts Elijah and Ada to host a magical open mic for children. Kids of all ages were invited to recite their favorite poem, original or published, before an audience of pajama-clad peers—all beneath dreamy decor by The InterKnit.

Beyond the mic, kids explored an interactive Mad Arts installation featuring immersive poetry technology and danced along with a live performance by Miami’s own Afrobeta. Kids also engaged in sensory play at an activation by Wonder Play! The Sensory Sonnet Soiree is a sensory-friendly poetry experience designed for kids on the autism spectrum and anyone else who may enjoy it.

Plus, attendees were invited to browse our by kids, for kids market and enjoy wholesome treats from Edible South Florida’s healthy snack table for kids. + Crepes and other savory foods were available for purchase.
