Photo Moments & Activations
As you walk along our boulevard, you’ll encounter insta-worthy photo moments and women-led activations. At the entrance is our wishing gate, where you can write down your dreams and make them part of the experience. Then, hang out with fashion illustrator Yaima Linares at her own cozy café for live sketches prior to the panel. We’ll also have a dry flower bar, so you can create your own beautiful bouquet to take home.
Food & Beverages
Stop by two exquisite charcuterie stations for light bites, courtesy of our caterer Porche Sullivan from Jessie’s Southern Kitchen. And if you want to pair your cheese with some wine, there will be several bars throughout the showroom for your choice of beverage.

Aida Capó
1926 – 2018
THE ORIGINAL "ELLA" OF EL DORADO FURNITURE
When you think about the story of El Dorado Furniture, the first thing you probably picture is Manuel Capó and sons Luis and Carlos leaving their home in a small sailboat called El Dorado to start a new life in the US. But who you don’t hear about as often is Aida Capó. While her husband was pursuing their American dream, she stayed behind, working as a teacher and taking care of her rambunctious sons while a revolution started brewing all around her.
When El Dorado Furniture opened their first store in Calle Ocho, she was the driving force that kept the whole family and business together. As the company expanded across Florida, she stayed true to their traditions and values; a virtue that would be awarded by the Hispanic Broadcasting Corporation’s “Woman of the Year” award and memorialized on the intersection of 72nd Avenue and 12th Street known as “Aida Rosa Capó Way.”
Ella Dorado: Day to Night Experience pays a long-overdue tribute to her and honors all the generations of women in our community that are making an impact.
