Greynolds Park is poised to have retro revival this Sunday. According to an announcement by Miami-Dade County, the Love-In Music Festival, now in its 20th year, will feature legendary vocalists who once led bands like Kansas and Journey. This day-long event, held at the Miami-Dade County Heritage Park, offers both locals and visitors a chance to bask in the nostalgic hits from the '60s, '70s, and '80s.

The festival lineup highlights The Voices of Classic Rock, bringing together the former frontmen John Elefante, Alex Ligertwood, Steve Augeri, and John Payne for delivering iconic hits. As reported by Miami-Dade County, along with these veterans, homegrown bands like Havoc 305 and Sisters Mann will ensure the rock 'n' roll energy alive. Fire Brigade is also set to perform, all against the scenic backdrop of Greynolds Park.

Octoberfest returns to the festivities, with traditional German food, alongside a variety of food trucks for when hunger hits. For the creative types, there's an arts and crafts section and the opportunity to make custom t-shirts, or create tie-dye designs. Costumes celebrating past decades are encouraged, and there's a themed contest for those who truly embody the retro vibe.

Admission to the much-anticipated event is just $20, but kids (those 12 and under) can get in free. Early birds can grab a Buy One, Get One free ticket offer, using the code LoveInEarlyBird through Friday, as mentioned by the county's press release. Doors open at 10 a.m., so be prompt if you aim to catch all the music and festivities.

Since its 2004 debut, the Love-In Music Festival has hosted a roster of storied musicians and provided memories aplenty at the historic Greynolds Park. It's a place resonating the ethos of the 1960s peace movement, serving as the ideal spot for this annual tribute to classic rock's golden days. While service animals are welcome, other pets, large tents, and coolers aren't allowed at the event.
