Join us at The Betsy for the closing celebration of “From Venice with Love”—a night designed for gathering: good food, shared company, and music that carries the spirit of the African and Caribbean Diaspora. Our Paella Party brings the series to a joyful close with live performance by the Nancy St. Leger Dance Company and a set by DJ Gardy (Gardy Girault).

The Nancy St. Leger Dance Company is dedicated to the preservation of authentic Haitian folkloric dance, celebrating Haiti’s rich cultural heritage through movement, rhythm, and tradition. DJ Gardy is a Haitian DJ, producer, and singer known for bridging traditional Caribbean sound with contemporary electronic music, including his signature “Rara Tech” style.

Produced in partnership between The Betsy Writers Room and FIU’s Public Humanities Lab, with support from Pérez CreARTE.
