Hello everyone: I hope this message finds you well as we look ahead to an exhilarating March 2025, rich with major sporting events that will undoubtedly drive significant economic impact across our vibrant Miami-Dade County. These events are a testament to the dynamic appeal of the Greater Miami and Miami Beach brand, showcasing our destination's unique blend of sports, culture and community spirit. One of the highlights this month is the Miami Open at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, taking place from March 16 to March 30. This prestigious tennis tournament not only brings world-class athletes to our doorstep but also attracts global attention, boosting our local economy and enhancing our reputation as a premier sports destination. For more information, visit the Miami Open's website. Further south, the NASCAR race at Miami-Homestead Speedway in South Dade promises to be another thrilling event. With the NASCAR Cup Series taking over the Speedway on Sunday, March 23, we can expect a county-wide impact that benefits businesses and communities alike... |
