This festival, established since 2017, will be held outside the 27,750 km2 national territory for the first time. Following the success of the 2022 edition under the conditions you're familiar with, the organizers have decided to take the festival to the Haitian community in the Southeastern United States. The event is scheduled to take place on July 16th at Historic Virginia Key Beach Park in Florida.

The news of SumFest's relocation was officially announced in the first quarter of this year, triggering a wave of comments, particularly on social media. "Even SumFest is leaving," "Uncle Biden, SumFest is in your hands," "Haiti is losing everything," "It's over, no more Wahoo." As is typical of Haitians, they responded in thousands and with a lot of humor to the news, while the organizing team launched a massive promotional campaign for the event. Just like in previous editions, updates and clarifications are regularly provided online, making it impossible to miss them.
