| Miami-Dade Farmers Month: Celebrating Miami's Countryside |
| |
| Less than an hour south of Greater Miami & Miami Beach’s urban core, there’s another side of the destination: South Dade, Miami’s countryside. Stretching from Pinecrest all the way to the Redland, Homestead, Florida City and the edge of the Everglades, this rural enclave is the heart of Miami’s farming community. South Dade’s farmers have made an indelible impact on the destination as both an economic engine and as a resource for its MICHELIN-recognized dining scene. To honor their contributions, the GMCVB is excited to debut the inaugural Miami-Dade Farmers Month, which will run from November 1-30. |

| Native American Heritage Month |
| |
| The month of November is National Native American Heritage Month. This commemorative month aims to provide a platform for Native people in the US to share their culture, traditions, music, crafts, dance, and ways/concepts of life. This gives Native people the opportunity to express to their community, both city, county and state officials their concerns and solutions for building bridges of understanding and friendship in their local area. Federal Agencies are encouraged to provide educational programs for their employees regarding Native American history, rights, culture and contemporary issues, to better assist them in their jobs and for overall awareness.
