Things to do in Homestead after ringing in the New Year. Make it your resolution to visit the Seminole Theatre in January.

We have an exciting set of events happening downtown Homestead.

On January 15th, we kick off the inaugural Seminole Showcase Series with a live music concert by Grammy Award winning artist Jon Secada, presented by The Seminole Cultural Arts Theatre, Inc. Board of Directors. Secada is currently celebrating his recently released single and music video, “I’m Never Too Far Away,” as well as honoring the 20th anniversary of his first hit “Just Another Day.”

Then, come back on January 21st to the reggae rhythms of The Wailers who, together with Bob Marley, pioneered roots rock reggae and sold in excess of 250 million albums worldwide.

On January 24th, take a stroll down memory lane when The Drifters roll into Miami Dade County. The Drifters are one of the most famous doo-wop and R&B groups with hits dating back to the 1950's such as “Under The Boardwalk” and “On Broadway.”

If you like to do more than just watch events, come down on a Wednesday for Wine Down and Paint with Art For Good Paint Parties. Get instructions on how to paint your own picture that you can take home, while sipping wine and munching snacks, and it all benefits a good cause. Come down on January 13th or 27th (or both!). Check out the pictures from the last event here.

THE DRIFTERS

The Drifters served to link Fifties rhythm & blues with Sixties soul music. They epitomized the vocal group sound of New York City. Theirs was the sweet but streetwise sound of R&B suffused with gospel influences. The Drifters managed to set musical trends and give the public 13 chart hits, most of which are legendary recordings today. Tickets from $27.

SEMINOLE THEATRE is set to present its first season since it’s reopening on October 28th, 2015. After the sold-out opening gala, SEMINOLE THEATRE announced its first ever SEMINOLE THEATRE SHOWCASE SERIES, a new and exciting concert series combining several different genres of music.
