Tickets for Calle Ocho 2025
Good news! Calle Ocho is free to attend. There is no need to RSVP or anything; just show up and have a good time. The festival does sell VIP tickets, which cost $135 via eventbrite.com. The ticket includes complimentary food and drink samples, front-row access to the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Hollywood/Telemundo 51 stage, transportation through the festival, reserved parking, and VIP lounge access.Parking at Calle Ocho 2025
Parking will be a challenge unless you bought a VIP ticket. Because Calle Ocho doesn't take place in a proper venue, the neighborhood of Little Havana essentially becomes one big parking lot. There are small public and private lots scattered throughout the neighborhood. Make sure you are aware of any parking fees. Private lots often use their own payment machines and apps, which differ from the city's. Do not get them confused unless you want to end your festival experience on a sour note. You can also park in nearby residential streets but don't be the kind of jerk who blocks driveways or fire hydrants.Map of Calle Ocho 2025
