Saturday in the Park...
Join us this March 1 at Coral Reef Park for the Village's signature event, the Annual Celebration Picnic. Enjoy student music, traditional picnic fare, and the warm spirit of this amazing community as 4,000 of your closest friends and neighbors gather together to recognize our 12th year as an independent municipality -- and have a great time doing it! Our Parks & Recreation staff truly enjoys organizing and executing top-notch events for you, and they have a lot of practice throughout the year. From the Annual Picnic, to Earth Week, to Summer Concerts, and Winter Wonderlands, I am so proud of our Village programs and services -- and I take great pleasure in doing my part to ensure we continue to offer the quality of life you deserve here in Palmetto Bay. See you Saturday in the park!

2014 Palmetto Bay City Guide
Village Map Mailed to All Homes

The 2014 "Palmetto Bay City Guide," a slick, 4-color map and reference guide, is now arriving in 18,000 mailboxes throughout South-Dade. Distributed inside a pack of Miami Herald supplements, the new map is a great resource for out-of-town guests and offers a bounty of local ads. But the really big news is, this year's map features an overview of the Downtown Redevelopment Initiative. The annual fold-out map also contains an invitation to take the Downtown Survey inviting recipients to join the more than 700 residents who have already responded to our community survey invitation. (Special thanks to Miami Maps, Inc., Village map coordinator, for providing complimentary distribution in The Miami Herald.)
