FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Dec. 22, 2022 Miami Beach Invites Residents to Gift Beachwalk Bricks for Holidays — Commemorative brick pavers make lasting holiday gifts — Miami Beach, FL – Instead of the usual holiday gift this year, Miami Beach is inviting residents and visitors to give their friends and family a small piece of the city’s new Beachwalk to mark the holidays. “The Beachwalk is already one of our most beautiful and popular amenities,” explained Miami Beach Commissioner Kristen Rosen Gonzalez. “This is a wonderful way to remember a family member, friend or commemorate an important life event during the holidays.”
The Miami Beach City Commission recently approved the sale of $1,500 commemorative brick pavers that will be placed along the 26 Street entrance to the Beachwalk as a pilot program
with the proceeds to fund educational programing in the city. The personalized Beachwalk Bricks will remain on the oceanfront promenade for 10 years but
may be extended for an additional period if the program is available. Inscriptions can include names or messages. Holiday shoppers with larger budgets might want to consider the city’s similar Adopt-A-Bench Program in which donors receive a commemorative plaque on one of hundreds of park benches throughout the city for a $10,000 donation. For information on either program, call the City of Miami Beach Parks and Recreation Department at 305.673.7272 or send an email to recreation@miamibeachfl.gov. ###
