ANALYSIS

Each year the City of Miami Beach hosts a wide range of events and programs throughout Miami Beach, in order to engage and educate the community and provide opportunities for recreation and family enjoyment. 

 

In 2016, the City launched regular Ciclovía events to promote an active and healthy lifestyle. The Ciclovía event transforms Washington Avenue into an urban park by encouraging attendees to walk, bike, run or skate while enjoying a variety of activities and entertainment. This event is open to the general public at no charge.

 

CONCLUSION

Staff worked diligently to identify funding sources to off-set the costs of producing these events and has secured partnerships through sponsorships at varying levels of support from T-Mobile, Miami-Dade County Parks, Recreation and Open Spaces, Krave Pure Foods, Inc., Exhale Enterprises, Inc., and Tate’s Bake Shop.  The Administration recommends that the Mayor and the City Commission accept sponsorships in the total amount of $5800 from the sponsors for the January 2017 Ciclovía event.
