As an Allied Member of the Caribbean Tourism Organization I was incredibly proud of their work on this conference.

As a Guyanese and knowing how much newer we are to the tourism space I was incredibly moved by yesterday’s opening ceremony.

The speakers yesterday did not disappoint. I’m looking forward to today’s program🇬🇾

Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.

Is it the music? 🎶 The food? 🌴 The costumes? The parties? The culture? Or is it simply that feeling you get when thousands of people from different islands and backgrounds come together and turn South Florida into one BIG Caribbean celebration?

🎤 **Well, we went straight the location to get the answers!**

The **Orlando Carnival Downtown Team** is getting ready for Miami Carnival, and before the festivities begin, we wanted to hear what makes this experience so special to the people who return year after year.

🎬🐎 Heart of Compton, an amazing film directed by Isabel Soloaga, told the powerful and inspiring story of a young child and a horse finding success right in the heart of Compton. Behind the violence and madness the city is so often known for, this film revealed another side of Compton — one filled with hope, determination, dreams, and incredible stories that deserve to be seen.
It showed another side of a city that is so often portrayed through crime, struggle and negativity. Behind those headlines are children with dreams, families with hope, incredible stories and people determined to succeed. Heart of Compton brought that message to the screen in a powerful way, using the special connection between a young child and a horse to tell a story of possibility, perseverance and inspiration. ❤️🐴
And THAT is what made UrbanFest 360° such an amazing film festival! It gave filmmakers and storytellers an opportunity to show perspectives that we don’t always get to see while bringing actors, directors, creatives, community leaders and cultures together for an unforgettable weekend in Orlando.
From powerful films like Heart of Compton to the panels, interviews, red carpets, awards and conversations happening throughout the festival, UrbanFest 360° proved that there are incredible stories everywhere — sometimes you just have to look beyond the madness to find them. 🎥🔥
CAP Village Orlando was there capturing it all, and we still have plenty more to show you! Stay tuned!

🖤🎬 HONORING A LEGACY THAT CONTINUES TO INSPIRE

When UrbanFest 360° Founder Timothy Starks began thinking about creating a legacy award, there was one name he knew he wanted to honor: Chadwick Boseman.

For Timothy, Chadwick represented the very best of the craft.

That vision became even more meaningful when Chadwick’s brothers connected with the festival and expressed their desire to participate — not simply to accept an award, but to join the conversations and discussions surrounding his legacy.

With the festival also looking toward what would have been Chadwick’s 50th birthday, the opportunity became about more than an award. It became a celebration of his life, his work, and the impact he continues to have on generations of artists and audiences.

🎭 Watch this clip from Timothy Starks’ interview with CAP Village Orlando CEO Guenet Gittens-Roberts for the story behind the Chadwick Boseman Legacy Award.

🎬🐎 **UrbanFest 360° is about more than one weekend — it’s about creating futures.**

Through the **Creative Futures** program, approximately **120 young people** will get the chance to step into a completely different experience this Saturday — learning the fundamentals of **horseback riding, roping, and horsemanship**, with urban cowboys helping introduce them to the culture and skills behind it.

And this is only the beginning.

Creative Futures is being developed as **year-round programming**, with experiences planned throughout the year to expose young people to new industries, new skills, creative careers, and opportunities they may never have imagined for themselves.

As Derek shared in our conversation, the people working behind the scenes are often the **“nuts and bolts” that make everything happen.**

That’s why UrbanFest 360° is more than a festival. It’s about building connections, creating access, and developing the next generation.

If you’re interested in **film, content creation, media, entertainment or the creative industries**, this is a community you want to stay connected to.

🎥 **Follow UrbanFest 360° and keep watching for Creative Futures programming throughout the year.**
