The experience
What's special
Gospel Fest Miami is the Adrienne Arsht Center's annual celebration of faith, culture and community, a two-day festival at Knight Concert Hall in downtown Miami. The 2027 edition, the third, is listed for Saturday and Sunday, June 19 and 20, in the Arsht's 2026-27 season; dates are not yet final. It is the finale of a season of gospel programming that includes free community concerts around Miami-Dade and special performances at the Arsht, and it features national gospel artists, local acts and the winner of the Arsht Gospel Choir Invitational, a competition with a $5,000 grand prize. The 2026 weekend was headlined by Jekalyn Carr and Todd Dulaney.
How it works
Gospel Fest Miami is a pay-what-you-can event: in 2026 tickets were free with a suggested contribution of $25 for one day or $40 for both days, bought at ArshtCenter.org or through the Arsht box office. Concerts are held in Knight Concert Hall, with pre-show conversations on gospel's history and healing qualities. The Arsht provides accessible seating and assistive listening devices, and sign language interpretation, open captioning or audio description at select shows. The 2027 artists have yet to be announced.
Who it suits
It suits gospel fans of all ages and anyone curious about the music's history and its place in culture and community life. Because tickets are pay what you can, cost is not a barrier for families, choirs and church groups, and the pre-show conversations add context for newcomers. Visitors who want accessibility services can find them at the Arsht, and free community concerts across Miami-Dade run through the season.

Getting there

How do I get to Gospel Fest Miami?
By car
Most people drive to Gospel Fest Miami. The nearest major airport is MIA, and from there it is a straightforward drive to the venue. Check current road and traffic conditions before you set off, and see parking below.
By train
For attendees arriving by rail from Fort Lauderdale, West Palm Beach, or Orlando rather than flying, Brightline's MiamiCentral Station is a short Metromover ride from the Arsht Center (both are on/near the downtown Metromover loop).
Book / infoBy bus & public transit
From MIA, the free MIA Mover monorail reaches the Miami Intermodal Center in a few minutes. Metrorail's Orange Line then reaches downtown Miami in roughly 15-20 minutes; from any downtown Metrorail stop, the free Metromover people-mover has a station named 'Adrienne Arsht Center' that drops riders one block from Knight Concert Hall, a fully public-transit, largely-free path from the airport to the venue door.
Book / infoTaxi & rideshare
Both operate at MIA with dedicated terminal-curb pickup (6 terminals, confirm via the app). At the venue itself, the Arsht Center's own parking-and-transportation page names a specific official rideshare drop-off/pickup point.
Book / infoTaxis and rideshare such as Uber and Lyft can be limited near the venue, especially late at night or in rural areas. Agree a pickup point and time in advance and keep a backup plan.
Affiliate Flying in? You can book an airport transfer from MIA in advance rather than joining the taxi queue on arrival. Transfer links may earn Froligo a commission; they never change the price you pay.
🅿 Parking

Official rideshare pickup/drop-off point named explicitly: Bayshore Drive between NE 13th and NE 14th Streets.
