And so the fourth annual Gay8 Festival is upon us and what an amazing ride it has been! First and foremost, thank you for your support and encouragement. We hope you have a fantastic time today in what has become the country’s largest Hispanic/Latino LGBTQ event. The original idea for the festival was to connect people, ideas and cultures that usually don’t intersect - what we call civic engagement. It was based on the concept that when people share an experience, a place and time; pre-existing barriers

and erroneous notions come crashing down and what you’re left with is unencumbered human contact which generally leads to positive interactions (a hell of a good time!) Gay8 is whatever you make it and whatever you derive from it. Our job today is to host and welcome you and then get out of the way. We will simply let you all appreciate the enchanting surroundings of Little Havana and let the positive human interactions flourish so we can all celebrate together with our family, friends and community.

Best Regards,

Joe Cardona and Damian Pardo Gay8 Festival, Founders

What a pleasure it is to work along side all of you for the 4th annual Gay8 Festival! The Gay8 Festival lives on because of your dedication, commitment and devotion. We believed in each other and built a trust only a family could have. We truly worked as a unit to make our vision a reality: to build a progressive, diverse, inclusive, economically empowered and equality driven South Florida

community through engagement, cultural arts and festival entertainment. May the fruits of your labor be enjoyed through the eyes of the community as they laugh, dance and cheer through the heart of Little Havana! From our hearts to yours...we thank you! — The Gay8 Family
