Post Event Statement from Miami Broward One Carnival Host Committee

For the most part, this year’s Carnival was a success and based on comments from many, Miami Gardens was the perfect setting for the events. However, there were many complaints that headline act Alison Hinds was not allowed to perform.

Here is the statement, in full, from the event host committee that addresses that issue:

 

POST EVENT STATEMENT
OF
THE MIAMI BROWARD ONE CARNIVAL HOST COMMITTEE
Miami Gardens, Florida
October 11, 2011 

We, the members of the Miami Broward One Carnival Host Committee, value the integrity of our community event and the many people and entities that have supported us since our inception in South Florida. We want to apologize for not being able to deliver the complete entertainment lineup that our patrons were looking forward to and expected on Carnival Sunday.  Our headline act Alison Hinds was unable to perform due  to contractual obligations to the stadium and the financial repercussions that would follow any extensions of the event schedule. We were unable to permit a time extension.

The inclement tropical weather in  South Florida on Carnival weekend  was one of the stormiest  weekends experienced in months. Despite these challenges with the preceding inclement weather, we did not adjust our scheduled line up appropriately as a result of the rain delays.  This resulted in a show that extended its planned time. We take full responsibility for the logistic and presentation quality of all the cultural elements of the Carnival. Since the onset of these disappointments, we have communicated with all parties to express our sincere apologies.

In looking forward to the planning for 2012, we are listening to all feedback and will be making all best efforts to ensure improvements are made.

We appreciate the support of all bandleaders, patrons, entertainers, sponsors, elected officials, and volunteers  for a festive Carnival 2011 season and look forward to a greater and more improved Miami Broward One Carnival in 2012.
