Happy Holidays!
Open Letter to our Downtown Neighbors
As the December Holidays approach, I always make time for reflection and give thanks for all of the things that brought us hope, new friends, lasting memories and prosperity.
Of course, this is the season to be generous, so our Holiday Toy Drive is going on and will continue for most of the month. Our emphasis is to have every child in the City of Miami receive at least one gift. I hope you will join me in bringing joy to our children. Our goal is 150 gifts! This drive and your gift are channeled through the District Offices of the Commissioners and through the Mayor’s Office.
A Time to Be Thankful
As we get into the Holiday Spirit, may we all reflect on the year, the good times, the pat on the back, the smiles and laughter, the many life lessons we’ve learned and enjoy during our time here & now!

I am thankful for each of you, for our great City, our Beautiful Biscayne Bay, our Mayor, our Commissioners, AAC, the Miami Bayside Foundation, Bill Talbert, Monty Trainer, the DDA, the GMCVB, and the Chamber of Commerce. I am thankful for our continued strong tourism, economic development and for the bright promise of 2019! I am especially grateful to everyone whose incredible efforts and dedication create an extraordinary experience every day at Bayside Marketplace!
I love the enthusiasm of the Downtown Neighbors Alliance, the dedication of its members to the future of our amazing Downtown, to the potential growth of our City, and most important, to our Quality of Life. I am happy to have met most of the DNA Board members and look forward to a long-lasting relationship!
A Time to Celebrate
Here is a sample of the many events taking place at Bayside Marketplace and venues in our downtown area this month: Amor a la Musica, Cirque de Soleil Crystal, Ozuna, and great Miami Heat games! For a full schedule of events and activities, please visit our Website: BaysideMarketplace.com
Remember, Bayside Marketplace is having special deals and extended hours for the Holidays! Can't-miss our New Year’s Eve day, featuring children’s events from 4 PM to 6 PM. Music from the 50s through the 90s at 5 PM. And a Salute to our Veterans at 6 PM, from the City of Miami Mayor and Commissioners. And join us for the 35th Annual Celebration of the Big Orange at Bayside’s Stage near the Hard Rock Café!
No matter which holidays you celebrate, best wishes and much happiness to all our Downtown neighbors!
