The Underline, a 10-mile linear park whose cultural programming has included reggaeton, perreo, and dancehall, will host Tumbao’s fifth-anniversary celebration. The park is also scheduled to host 10 free concerts this year through the Levitt BLOC Miami Music Series, according to Miami New Times.
The park opened in phases
By 2025, Miami-Dade County records documented public openings for Phase 1, the Brickell Backyard, on Feb. 26, 2021, and for Phase 2, a 2.14-mile segment connecting SW 13 St. to SW 19 Ave., on April 24, 2024. The county’s records do not give a cumulative mileage total for the park in these opening notices. See Miami-Dade County’s Phase 1 information and its Phase 2 announcement.
