How it is booked

Booking the Calle Ocho Music Festival

Calle Ocho rides are priced by quote for your group and your day, with no fixed fare. When you book, a drop-off and a meeting point outside the festival blocks are agreed so the whole party knows where to return. Larger groups should reserve their Sprinter, mini-bus or coach well before the festival Sunday, and the line is open at any hour to make changes.

Getting there

Getting to the Calle Ocho Music Festival

Calle Ocho is held on the street itself, so there is no gate to pull up to and no stadium lot behind it. The festival stretches along fifteen blocks of SW 8th Street, with stages for music and folkloric dance spread down its length, food stalls and craft vendors in between, and the people who come move up and down it all day. For transport, that means two things. First, the drop-off is made on a side street outside the festival blocks, at a spot chosen when the trip is booked, rather than at an entrance. Second, a group that spreads out across a mile of music needs one place to regroup, and a chauffeur who knows that place and waits near it is far simpler than ten people each trying to summon a ride in a crowded neighbourhood. A Jet or Executive Sprinter suits a family or a group of friends, a 23- or 40-seat mini-bus a church, club or company outing, and a 55-seat coach a large organised trip. Visitors flying in arrive through Miami International, a short distance from Little Havana.

    Everyone meets at the same agreed point and travels back together.

Standard

Included in every transfer

  • Complimentary Wi-Fi Check the stage schedule or share a live location with the group on the drive into Little Havana.
  • Request your chauffeur A family that books every Carnaval season can ask for a driver it already knows.
  • Unplanned stops Picking up a cousin on the way or stopping for sunscreen and water is handled on the day without a fresh booking.
  • Grace period for delays A group that lingers for one more set still finds its vehicle at the meeting point.
  • Real-time flight tracking Guests travelling in for Carnaval are collected at MIA when their flight really lands.
  • Professionally trained chauffeurs Drivers familiar with Little Havana’s grid and with the side streets around a festival day.

Aura Palm Limo provides chauffeured transportation for the Calle Ocho Music Festival, the one-day street festival that closes the Carnaval Miami season and fills SW 8th Street in Little Havana between SW 12th and SW 27th Avenues; the next edition is Sunday, March 14, 2027. The festival is run with volunteers of the Kiwanis Club of Little Havana, and Aura Palm, a privately owned car and coach operator, is not connected with the Kiwanis Club, Carnaval Miami or the festival; what it supplies is the ride there and back — a family group dropped near the festival blocks, friends kept together for a day of music, and guests flying into nearby Miami International (MIA). Reservations are answered around the clock on +1 (786) 574-3081, with pickups throughout Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties.

In depth Chauffeured transport for the Calle Ocho Music Festival

A festival that is the street

The Calle Ocho Music Festival takes over SW 8th Street in Little Havana for a single Sunday each March, running from SW 12th Avenue to SW 27th Avenue — fifteen city blocks in the heart of the neighbourhood. Music and folkloric dance play on several stages along that stretch, with food and crafts between them. Because the festival is the road, a car cannot deliver anyone to a front door; the useful service is a drop on a nearby side street agreed in advance and a driver who comes back to the same place when the group is ready.

The finale of Carnaval Miami

Calle Ocho closes Carnaval Miami, the run of events the Kiwanis Club of Little Havana stages through February and March, with proceeds supporting the Kiwanis of Little Havana Foundation’s youth programs. For many families it is an annual outing that brings relatives together from across South Florida, and for churches, dance schools, social clubs and employers it is a natural group trip. A Sprinter for a family, a mini-bus for a club, or a 55-seat coach for a large organised party means everyone travels on one plan and goes home from one spot, rather than a convoy of cars hunting for parking around Little Havana.

Travelling in for the festival Sunday

Visitors who come to Miami for Calle Ocho usually land at Miami International, a short distance from Little Havana. A tracked pickup there can carry them to a hotel and, on Sunday, to the festival and back, with the airport return booked for the following day. The reservation line is answered at any hour. To arrange transport for the Calle Ocho Music Festival, call +1 (786) 574-3081 or email info@auravipservices.com.
