A vibrant day of pride, unity, and family fun honoring Miami’s real-life heroes at the Hometown Heroes Parade
Every year, Miami-Dade County comes together in a burst of color, music, and gratitude to celebrate the people who keep our city strong. From the first responders who rush toward danger to the healthcare workers who give everything to keep us healthy, the Hometown Heroes Parade and Festival at Tropical Park is a heartfelt salute to those who make our community shine. This year’s event promises to be bigger, brighter, and more inspiring than ever — a true Miami-style celebration of courage and compassion.
A celebration of service and spirit in the heart of Miami-Dade
On Saturday, November 1, 2025, from 3 PM to 8 PM, Miami-Dade’s Central Park, Tropical Park, will come alive with family-friendly festivities, live entertainment, and — of course — the iconic Hometown Heroes Parade. Hosted by Miami-Dade County Commissioner Danielle Cohen Higgins, this cherished tradition, now in its fourth year, has quickly become one of the most anticipated events in Miami, bringing together thousands of residents, civic leaders, and local heroes.
Expect to see beautifully decorated floats, marching bands, and moving tributes that reflect the soul of Little Havana, Coral Gables, Homestead and beyond. Whether you come to honor a loved one in uniform or simply enjoy a fun-filled day with family, this celebration is a reminder that Miami’s strength lies in its people — brave, compassionate, and resilient.
Honoring those who keep Miami moving forward
The Hometown Heroes Festival isn’t just about celebration — it’s about gratitude. It’s about recognizing the firefighters who battle fierce hurricanes, the police officers who keep our neighborhoods safe, and the healthcare professionals who worked tirelessly through every challenge. The Hometown Heroes Parade shows our children who our true heroes are and what they, too, can aspire to be.
Last year’s festival was filled with laughter, live Latin music, and heartfelt moments that united the community in pride and joy. This year, expect even more — from local food vendors serving Miami’s favorite bites to interactive games for kids and emotional moments of recognition that remind us all why we love this county.
As we gather under the palm trees and the warm Miami sun, let’s take a moment to thank our hometown heroes for all they do. Join us on Saturday, November 1, 2025, at Tropical Park to celebrate their courage, dedication, and community spirit.
