Palm Beach County To Celebrate Haitian Heritage During The Month Of May 2013 Several events will take place to celebrate Haitian Heritage Month again this year in Palm Beach County. The month-long series of activities will begin on May 1st, at 6:00 PM, with an Opening Ceremony and Reception at Toussaint L’Ouverture High School for Arts and Social Justice located at 301 S.W. 14th Avenue, Delray Beach, Florida 33444, featuring the well-known artist Jean Michel Daudier and Nicole Moreta Dance Academy at Toussaint L’Ouverture High School. This initial event will be followed by a number of cultural and academic activities at various dates and locations throughout the county. UPDATE: Here's a video from the opening ceremony/kickoff event! Haitian Heritage Month commemoration recognizes the valuable contributions made by Haitians to the history of the World. It is a celebration of Haitian history and culture and an opportunity to share this culture with our communities. On May 18, 2013, Haitian flag-raising ceremonies will take place at the Delray Beach City Hall at 10:00 AM. “Our goal is to build up the self-esteem of all Haitians in our community, share our wonderful history and culture with the communities where we live and highlight our contributions to the history of the world and the neighborhoods where we live,” said Bito David, the initiator of the celebration in Palm Beach County in 2003. Other Haitian Heritage Month highlights include several cultural and educational events at various Palm Beach County Library branches, a traditional student essay contest sponsored by Gaskov Clergé Foundation, a Photo Exhibit featuring prominent Haitian figures in Florida, a festival at the Delray Beach Tennis Center on May 18 and in Belle Glades, and much more. Visit http://www.palmbeachschools.org/pao/creole/MwaEritajAyisyen2013.asp for more details. The School District of Palm Beach County partners with Palm Beach County Library System and Toussaint L’Ouverture High School for Arts and Social Justice to coordinate these events. Haitian and Haitian American students represent the largest ethnic minority group from a single country in the School District of Palm Beach County with about 14,000 students. According to community activists, Palm Beach County is home to more than 90,000 Haitians. Admission to all Haitian Heritage Month events is free and open to the public. A calendar of activities is attached.

The Best Western Premier is in the middle of Petionville. It's Haiti's first American brand hotel in a long time. With a spa and beautiful balcony views, it will cost you about $249/night just for the room. We did not stay here, just went to see it and take pictures. We weren't able to get into the rooms because the manager wasn't there, but we were greeted very nicely and given a tour of the property. GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE! It has an upscale feel, with Haitian art and pictures from around the country! This makes it stand out to me more than the Oasis. This hotel feels like you're in Haiti. I love it!!!!
Tip: This is in a busy downtown area so if you're looking for a quiet getaway, I don't recommend this hotel. Stay here if you want to be in the middle of the action, interact with local or in Haiti on business. We were told the biggest clientele is business people. There's a $50 US/person shuttle available to and from the airport.
