This\u00a0 colorful installation will transform Giralda Plaza into a breathtaking canopy of handwoven\u00a0 textiles, suspended overhead and rich in movement, texture and cultural significance.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Handwoven by women from Etzatl\u00e1n, Mexico, Cielo Tejido highlights traditional weaving\u00a0 techniques passed down through generations, celebrating heritage, craftsmanship and the\u00a0 power of global cultural exchange. The installation is made possible with the support of the\u00a0 Consulate of Mexico, further strengthening the city\u2019s commitment to showcasing diverse artistic\u00a0 expressions.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCielo Tejido is more than an art installation, it is a celebration of culture, community and\u00a0 creativity,\u201d said City Manager, Peter Iglesias. \u201cWe are proud to bring this vibrant experience to\u00a0 Giralda Plaza and continue building on the success of previous installations that have activated\u00a0 our downtown in meaningful ways.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The second installation will be on display from August through October.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Giralda in Bloom: A Floral Canopy will bring a new fun floral twist to the classic Umbrella Sky\u00a0 that took the city by storm. Created by Impact Plan, the original designers behind Umbrella Sky\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>in Portugal and the 2018 Gables installation, this fresh display features hundreds of floral patterned umbrellas suspended above the plaza, turning the corridor into a dazzling tapestry of\u00a0 color that provides both beauty and shade for visitors.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Unlike typical umbrella installations, Giralda in Bloom celebrates Coral Gables with bright flower\u00a0 designs crafted to foster connection and joy. The installation not only brightens downtown but\u00a0 also creates a playful, must-visit destination, inviting all to linger, take photos and enjoy the\u00a0 creative energy in the heart of the city.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>For more information, visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.coralgables.com\/GiraldaSky\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">www.coralgables.com\/GiraldaSky <\/a>or follow the City of Coral Gables\u00a0 on social media for updates. <\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n    Connect To Your Customers &amp; Grow Your Business&#13;\n<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"link-button connect-customer-business\" href=\"https:\/\/communitynewspapers.com\/request-information\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Click Here<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/1776851487_240_Bugle-Boy.jpg\" scale=\"0\"\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Following the overwhelming success of the beloved Umbrella Sky\u00a0 installation in 2018, the City of Coral Gables is&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":254066,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[123,125,124],"class_list":["post-254065","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-miami","tag-miami","tag-miami-headlines","tag-miami-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/254065","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=254065"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/254065\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/254066"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=254065"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=254065"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=254065"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
