The Miami Takeover (MTO) is excited to announce it is returning to Miami Beach this Summer from July 25-28, 2025 with an exhilarating three-day cultural event schedule that celebrates Black culture, art, community and Go-Go music as it partners with the Greater Miami Conventions and Visitors Bureau (GMCVB), as an official event of the Art of Black Miami event series, and the Miami Beach Visitors and Convention Authority (MBVCA).
Founded and led by three HBCU-educated Black professionals and entrepreneurs from the Washington D.C. area— Wylie Kynard, Antwoine McCoy and Vincent Peden—the event production and travel company has developed a niche curating events that cater to HBCU graduates, Black professionals and cultural tastemakers who appreciate authentic culture, art, music, and community. “We’re excited to bring everyone together this summer while celebrating Go-Go music’s 50th anniversary with our main event— The Art of Go-Go Culture Fest— while receiving support from the GMCVB and MBVCA,” said Vincent Peden, partner at The Miami Takeover LLC.
MTO will bring together Miami and Washington D.C.’s most iconic Caribbean, rap and Go-Go music artists at the Art of Go-Go Fest, which is the main event happening on Miami Beach on Saturday, July 26, 2025. “Miami Beach and the greater Miami-Dade County region including the Opa Locka/Bunch Park community is where my grandparents raised my father and his six siblings, so Miami holds a special place in my heart. That combined with my educational foundation at Florida A&M University and upbringing in the DMV area, I am excited to continue the Miami Takeover’s cultural legacy supporting the communities that had a direct influence on my existence and upbringing,” said Antwoine McCoy, partner at The Miami Takeover LLC.
Additionally, MTO is proud to collaborate with the Miami Beach Black Advisory Board (BAAB) to collaboratively advance the social, economic, political and educational needs of the diverse Black World Community throughout Miami-Dade County, while enhancing the quality of life for residents in a dedicated and responsive manner. “Everything goes back to Florida A&M University and our alma mater’s motto: Excellence with Caring. This continues to be our overarching guiding principle, emphasizing academic or professional achievement with a commitment to the well-being of the community,” said Wylie Kynard, partner at The Miami Takeover LLC.
