About This Event
***Closing Soon: Ticket sales extended to Wednesday, October 22, 2025***
Enter a world where folklore walks the runway and the future rises in flames of brilliance.
Join us for Milestones: FIYAH! Fashion. Folklore. Future., the fifth anniversary gala celebration of Island SPACE Caribbean Museum. This fall, at the stunning Marriott Harbor Beach Resort in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, we honor five years of storytelling, cultural preservation and diasporic pride with an evening of elegance and impact.
This year’s theme ignites the spirit of pan-Caribbean magic — where mythical inspiration meets artistic innovation. Prepare for an unforgettable celebration of style, theater, culture and community, as we reflect on our journey and blaze a bold path toward the future.
Our Goal
To ignite $1 million in support — fueling the programs, exhibitions, and heritage experiences that keep Caribbean culture alive; deepening our connection with schools and our community; and lighting the path toward a new, expanded museum home where our stories can thrive for generations.
