Buko, " meaning "coconut" in Tagalog, encapsulates the vibe of this sun-kissed group hailing from Miami, FL with roots from the Philippines. Steeped in anime- inspired themes, they coined their one-of-a-kind sound as “alt-rock/R&B. ” They continue to tour nationally, riding their internet success and headlining stages such as TwitchCon 2025 (San Diego), while making waves in the thriving South Florida indie scene. The band is composed of bassist and lead singer Andy Gil, guitarist and lead vocalist Raquel Lily, keyboardist and producer Martin Castor, and drummer Di’Angelo Gonzalez. In June 2025, buko boys released their debut 14-song, self-produced LP, "float".

Held monthly, the Night Market features a rotating lineup of South Florida vendors offering handcrafted goods, artwork, jewelry, specialty foods, and other locally made finds. Each market also includes interactive experiences such as hands-on workshops, creative sessions, pop-up games, and cultural programming designed to encourage connection, creativity, and discovery.

Live music and performances set the tone for an easygoing evening, while visitors are invited to stroll, shop, and participate at their own pace. Optional add-on activities may be available during select markets.

The Vizcaya Village Night Market takes place on scheduled evenings throughout the season, with new vendors and programming featured each month.

Wild Bloom Poetry arrives in Miami for the very first time, marking a meaningful milestone for the series as it expands this community-rooted poetry experience into the city.

Founded by poet, author, and cultural programmer Stella Amador and produced under Bloom by Stella, Wild Bloom Poetry exists to uplift local artists, empower “secret poets” who have been writing quietly, and create spaces where presence is prioritized over performance.

For this edition, Wild Bloom partners with the Vizcaya Village Night Market to bring a grounded, reflective, and accessible open mic flow designed to celebrate voice, creativity, and community storytelling.

The evening will be soundtracked by live jazz from Izzi Guzman and Michael Gaspari (The G.G. Collective), whose music will weave throughout the program to create an immersive atmosphere for both listeners and readers.

We’ll open with a featured poet before transitioning into the community open mic, welcoming both seasoned performers and first-time voices. Whether you come to share or to witness, the space is designed to invite presence, connection, and deep listening within one of South Florida’s most iconic garden settings.

This Miami debut marks the continued growth of Wild Bloom Poetry—planting new roots while staying true to its listening-room spirit.
