Celebrating Miami Marine Stadium: An Evening with Jimmy Buffett and Gloria Estefan

Celebrating Miami Marine Stadium: An Evening with Jimmy Buffett and Gloria Estefan

National Trust for Historic Preservation

Few places capture the spirit of South Florida quite like Miami Marine Stadium.

From the roar of hydroplanes to dazzling performances on the bay, it was here that Miami turned its cultural heartbeat into a spectacle the world couldn’t resist.

Join us at the Coral Gables Museum on Thursday, January 9, from 6:30-10:30 PM as we relive those glory days with two legends who once graced the stadium’s dramatic floating stage – Jimmy Buffett and Gloria Estefan.

Hosted by the National Trust for Historic Preservation, this celebration will shine a spotlight on these two musical icons as NBC 6 anchor Jackie Nespral interviews the stars about their memories of the stadium’s past, as well as their hopes for its comeback as a world class sports and performance venue. Jimmy Buffett will close the evening with a short performance.

All guests will receive a one-year membership to the National Trust, as well as free admission to “Concrete Paradise,” the Coral Gables Museum’s critically-acclaimed exhibition dedicated to Miami Marine Stadium. Complimentary cocktails and heavy appetizers will be served throughout the evening. There will also be a silent auction featuring original stadium seats signed by the stars.

Proceeds benefit the National Trust's work to restore the stadium, as well as our host for the evening – the Coral Gables Museum.

Important note: Doors will open for general admission at 6:30 PM. The program will begin at 7:30 PM, and seating will be unassigned. We expect the program to conclude at 9:00 PM. Afterwards, attendees will have free access to "Concrete Paradise" until 10:30 PM.

Gloria and Emilio to be named ambassadors

A proposal that could see entertainment giants Emilio and Gloria Estefan serve as Miami-Dade trade and cultural ambassadors for four years is being fast-tracked through the county’s legislative process.
County commissioners adopted Jean Monestime’s proposal on first reading Dec. 3 and waived it out of committee hearings. They forwarded the suggestion directly to a public hearing, set for Dec. 17.
If approved, the legislation would create a joint post of trade and cultural ambassador – an unpaid, four-year position with no reimbursement of expenses.
The job, legislators said, would be for the “many great individuals who dedicate their energy and talents to cultural exchange and spreading goodwill on behalf of the citizens of Miami-Dade County.”
And commissioners have the ideal candidates in sight for the inaugural four-year appointment.
Commission staff said the Estefans, who have become cultural and philanthropic icons, already have an established track record of representing the region and promoting Miami-Dade.

Feed a friend 2013

Thousands of people received a much needed meal at Gloria and Emilio Estefan's 6th annual Thanksgiving Day Feed a Friend event.

"This is great that people are out there to help us," said Malena Gonzalez.

Several sponsors partnered up with the Estefan family to feed the homeless and families in transition for the holiday.

"It's my favorite event. I think it's great to be able to share a great party on a very special day to give thanks because we have so much to be thankful for," said Gloria Estefan.

"My favorite is when I see a smile in somebody that is going through a hard time," said Emilio Estefan.

The meal featured all the traditional American trimmings and a touch of Cuban flavor, with items like roasted pork and fried plantains.

"It's Miami! It's everybody! We want everyone in the community to be a part of it," said Gloria Estefan.
