Cowboy boots and country beats at Tropical Park (includes video story)

The Miami-Dade Country Fest 2025, which was held April 26 and 27 at the Ronald Reagan Equestrian Center in Tropical Park, brought a vibrant blend of rural charm and family-friendly entertainment to the heart of Miami.

With cowboy boots and country beats, hundreds gathered to celebrate this annual fest. There was music, food and activities for all ages, including a dance floor and pig races.

“We’re trying to get people from all ages to come over and express themselves artistically,” said Emily Valdes, who is an actress and storyteller for children.
