Welcome to Miami-Dade Favorites
presented by Metro Ford!
Now in its third year, Miami-Dade Favorites continues to celebrate the people, places, and businesses that make this region one of the most dynamic and beloved in the world.
From its vibrant cultural mosaic and world-famous beaches to its innovative food scene, thriving arts community, and global energy, Miami-Dade County stands out as a place where diversity and creativity come together in extraordinary ways. Whether it’s the rhythm of Little Havana, the art-lined streets of Wynwood, the pulse of Downtown Miami, or the laid-back charm of Coral Gables and South Miami, every neighborhood contributes to the bold spirit that defines this community.
That spirit of excellence and pride is exactly what Miami-Dade Favorites is all about, recognizing the local businesses, organizations, and individuals who make life here so remarkable.
