Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava and the Department of Transportation and Public Works (DTPW) are pleased to announce the resumption of cultural bus tours during Hispanic Heritage Month. Bus tours will run on Saturday, September 16th and Saturday, October 14th, in honor of the Hispanic traditions that have shaped our community’s unique history, culture, and identity.
“Our community is incredibly diverse, and this tour reflects our commitment to honor and celebrate the indelible mark Hispanic culture has left on Miami-Dade,” said Miami-Dade Mayor Daniella Levine Cava. “I encourage residents to take advantage of our County’s free cultural bus tours to learn more about Miami-Dade’s rich and colorful history.
The free, narrated two-hour tours offer riders an enriching experience to explore Miami’s Shrine of Our Lady of Charity in Coconut Grove, Calle Ocho and the National Historic Landmark Freedom Tower (riders will remain on the bus for this portion as the Freedom Tower is closed for major renovations ahead of its 2025 100th anniversary celebration). Participants will have the opportunity to exit the bus for approximately 30 minutes at our Lady of Charity and on Calle Ocho near Domino Park.
“Public Transportation is not merely about moving people from one place to another. It’s a conduit for dialog and understanding that helps us connect, share, and embrace the myriad stories in our diverse community that make Miami-Dade so special. The Hispanic Heritage Tour serves as a bridge, linking our community’s rich past to its promising future. We’re proud to facilitate this journey of discovery,” added Eulois Cleckley, Director and CEO of DTPW.
The tour will depart promptly at 10 a.m. from the Stephen Clark P. Clark Center, 111 N.W. First Street. Spaces are anticipated to fill up quickly. Riders are encouraged to secure their spots early. To reserve a seat, visit website.
Cultural tours are also scheduled during Black History Month with a route through Coconut Grove, Overtown, Liberty City, and Little Haiti.
