MIAMI,
WE LOVE YOU.
Miami was the first city to join the movement.
Will yours be next?
WHAT’S HAPPENING IN MIAMI
Together, we’ve celebrated local heroes, invited thousands of residents to participate, partnered with more than 40 organizations, and generated more than 900 million media impressions celebrating the people making Miami better.
What began as a series of activations became something larger: a growing sense of joy, belonging, civic pride, and participation across the city.
This is only the beginning.
Soleil River Nation, Youth Winner of Elevated Tracks 305
What surprised me most about participating in Elevated Tracks 305 was how much it felt like a real community, not just a contest.
I was surprised by how many people showed up, listened, voted, shared, encouraged me, and believed in the song. It reminded me that music is not something you create alone — it becomes bigger when people feel connected to it.
I also loved seeing how Miami artists could all bring different sounds, stories, and cultures, but still share the same love for this city. Elevated Tracks 305 gave me a chance to celebrate Miami through my own voice, and it surprised me how much that meant to other people too.
