Gospel Fest set for Sunday in Cutler Bay as part of Black History Month

(MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, FL) – Gospel music fans are in for a treat when the Miami-Dade County Black Affairs Advisory Board presents the Fourth Annual Gospel Fest on Sunday, February 8 at 5 p.m. at the South Dade Cultural Arts Center, 10950 SW 211th Street in Cutler Bay.  Tickets are $15 per person for adults and $3 for children 1 to17.

Grammy Award winning recording artist and BET “Sunday Best” winner Le’Andria Johnson will headline, and several local artists and performers are scheduled to perform. The event also will feature a program honoring “Living Legends” — citizens who have been active in South Miami’s religious community for 50 years or more.

“We are excited to present this year’s Gospel Fest, which has continued to grow both in stature and importance to the South Dade community and beyond,” said event chair Pastor Melissa Rolle-Scott.

Some of the local acts scheduled to appear include Raymond Young and the Dedications Dance Ministry, Amah’s Touch, the Gospel Caravans, Miami’s Blessed, Arsimmer McCoy, Sheneil Lewin, and the Ministers of Music – comprised of musicians from several local churches

The event is part of the Black Affairs Advisory Board’s Black History Month celebration, a month-long series of events aimed at highlighting Miami-Dade County’s diverse Black World Community.
