We are here to promote local Haitian writers to a wider audience. This facility also organizes Big Night, a popular event in Little Haiti. The concept of 'Big Night in Little Haiti' was first originated in the minds of James and Laura Quinlan of the famed Rhythm Foundation. Practically, the idea came to their minds after producing a benefit concert following the 2010′s devastating earthquake.

If you by any chance pass through the Northeast 2nd Avenue in Miami's Little Haiti and that happens to be the third Friday evening of a month, there is enough chance that you may hear some of the genre's greatest konpa music band is performing. This lively monthly party in Miami's Little Haiti showcases top Haitian musical talents and that happens on a spacious, open-air courtyard of the Little Haiti Cultural Center.

This section of Miami called Little Haiti neighborhood received its unofficial name in the late 1970s and early 1980s. This is following the large increase of the Haitian immigrants who came to the United States due to political crisis in their nation. Now an effort is being made to officially rename the area "Little Haiti" from the historic neighborhoods it largely absorbed over the years.

However there are resistances from many who want to keep the old name Lemon City. Marleine Bastien, executive director of Haitian Women of Miami and Gepsie Metellus, executive director of the Haitian community center Sant La are in support of that move

For those who are not familiar with it, many people prefer Miami Mini Bus because of their availability, convenience and frequency. Also another reason why people prefer it is that the fares are reasonable as compared to other means of transport. The Miami Mini Bus jitneys have no fixed schedules. They are very flexible, making stops anytime they are asked to.
