Showtime Networks invites you to join us for a complimentary event including free cocktails and raffle prizes! Join us poolside, under the stars, to sip cocktails and sample hors d'oeuvres as we kick off this year's Festival. This special evening highlights the truly phenomenal Miami-Dade community. Visit different stations showcasing the many local organizations that benefit from funds raised through Winter Party Festival and the annual Miami Recognition Dinner. This is a great way to meet representatives of these organizations, learn more about them and to find out how to get involved. Members of the 2008 Festival Committee will preview the different community, cultural, and dance events offered at this year's celebration.
