Grammy-winning, platinum-selling producer and artist Michaël Brun is bringing BAYO back to Miami’s Little Haiti on November 22, 2026, for a free block party celebrating the event’s 10th anniversary. Presented with support from Rockstar Games, the celebration will welcome an expected 7,500 attendees for the biggest BAYO gathering in Little Haiti to date, returning the event to the neighborhood where it first began.
Over the past decade, BAYO has grown from an intimate street party into an international celebration of Haitian and Afro-Caribbean culture. The event’s history includes surprise appearances from artists such as J Balvin, Saint Levant, Maxwell, Kah-Lo, Oxlade, Machel Montano, and Wyclef Jean, bringing together diverse voices across music and culture.
Meaning “to give,” BAYO reflects Brun’s commitment to sharing Haitian excellence and giving back to the communities that have helped shape his career. The 10th-anniversary celebrations began earlier in 2026 with shows at Boston’s Agganis Arena and a sold-out three-night residency at Brooklyn Paramount. Bringing the series back to Little Haiti closes the anniversary run where it all started, placing the Haitian community at the center of the milestone.
“10 years ago, BAYO made its US debut as a free block party in Little Haiti celebrating Haitian and Caribbean culture,” Brun says. He reflects on the event’s growth across 12 cities, more than 50,000 tickets sold, arena and park performances, and over 140 guest artists from around the world. Looking ahead to the Miami return, he promises a new venue, major surprises, and what he describes as the event’s most iconic lineup yet, with free admission courtesy of Rockstar Games.
The November celebration will feature a surprise lineup alongside a vendor village highlighting Haitian and Caribbean food and art. Brun will also continue supporting local cultural organizations, extending the event’s community focus beyond the stage. Admission will be free, with tickets distributed through a raffle. More than half of the available tickets will be specifically earmarked for Florida residents and Haitian communities, helping make the celebration accessible to the people most closely connected to its mission.
Fans can sign up for ticket information through the official BAYO website at BAYO Tour.
The anniversary arrives during a year in which Brun has continued to raise the profile of Haitian culture across music, sports, and entertainment. His recent production work includes records for Naïka, Victoria Monét, Ibeyi, and Tank and The Bangas. He also collaborated with the Fédération Haïtienne on a short film celebrating Haiti’s return to the World Cup and performed a warm-up DJ set for the national team.
His partnership with Rockstar Games adds another dimension to that ongoing cultural advocacy, supporting a celebration built around Haitian identity, music, and community. Through his work as a producer, performer, and cultural ambassador, Brun has continued to connect audiences with Haitian artistry while creating opportunities for artists and communities to be seen and heard.
For BAYO, the return to Little Haiti represents more than an anniversary event. It brings a decade of growth back to its starting point, honoring the neighborhood and community that helped shape the celebration. With free admission, a surprise lineup, local vendors, and continued support for cultural organizations, BAYO Miami will mark ten years by putting Haitian and Afro-Caribbean culture at the forefront of the festivities.
