The ceremony will take place in front of Bol\u00edvar\u2019s Miami Beach monument at 21 Street and Collins Avenue.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cSim\u00f3n Bol\u00edvar\u2019s vision was rooted in the belief that \u2018a nation that loves its freedom will, in the end, be free\u2019, said\u00a0Miami Beach Mayor Steven Meiner. \u201cIt is fitting that this year\u2019s ceremony will honor Venezuela. Our city stands in solidarity with the Venezuelan community and draws inspiration from their steadfast spirit as they navigate this difficult period of mourning and rebuilding.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The festivities will include an invocation and wreath-laying ceremony from the Office of the Mayor and Commission. Every year, the Miami Beach Hispanic Affairs Committee highlights a country Bol\u00edvar helped become independent. The ceremony will be followed by cafecito.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cA community who loves freedom, will ultimately be free,\u201d shared\u00a0Miami Beach Hispanic Affairs Committee Chair Carmen Datorre.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cEl Libertador\u201d as Bol\u00edvar is known in Spanish (The Liberator), played a central role in the South American independence movement. Born on July 24,1783 in Caracas, Venezuela, his efforts led six present-day countries to independence from the Spanish Empire: Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, Panama, Peru and Venezuela. Today, Bol\u00edvar\u2019s accomplishments are celebrated throughout Latin America.<\/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\/06\/1780414665_361_Bugle-Boy.jpg\" scale=\"0\"\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The City of Miami Beach will hold its eighth annual Sim\u00f3n Bol\u00edvar y Las Americas Day on Thursday,&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":340917,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[123,125,124],"class_list":["post-340916","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\/340916","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=340916"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/340916\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/340917"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=340916"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=340916"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=340916"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
