The Island SPACE Caribbean Museum is planning a big worldwide debut on June 27 with a red carpet of famous faces from entertainment, sports, politics, and religion at 5:30 p.m. and a lineup of performances beginning at 6 p.m.
Magic at the Museum will demonstrate to online and in-person attendees how Island SPACE truly reflects its slogan, “a place where Caribbean cultures unite.”
The gala and fundraiser will be a hybrid of a live in-person event and a virtual livestream on the internet. “The livestream is free and available to everyone from anywhere in the world,” says executive director Calibe Thompson. “They can follow us on our website, IslandSpaceFL.org.”
Those interested in attending can reserve tickets at 2021Magic.Eventbrite.com for a minimum donation of $50. At the launch party, there will be small bites and drinks.
