MISSION STATEMENT
Merrick Festival showcases the performing arts in our community, presenting free performances at public venues. The Merrick Festival’s annual Caroling Competition focuses attention on the importance of returning music to school curriculums. It supports the development of the talented young people in school-based vocal programs, awarding cash prizes, designated specifically for the use and enrichment of the school’s vocal programs. To this end, since 1987, Merrick Festival has donated more than $275,000 to the school music programs in Miami-Dade County.
