can enjoy interactive activities while students receive free school supplies and a grade-appropriate book to help spark a lifelong love for reading. When September arrives, we transition into a beautiful new season with two favorite annual events. First, on Saturday, September 19th, we will gather for the annual Mayors’ Chess Challenge . This open-play event is fantastic because it brings players (and those who want to learn) of all ages and skill levels together across the chessboard, a celebration of the power of chess in our community. Just one week later, on Saturday, September 26th, we keep the momentum going with our Fall Harvest Festival . It is always a wonderful autumn celebration filled with local vendors, music, and seasonal activities that our residents look forward to every year. Of course, keeping our City beautiful requires dedicated effort behind the scenes year-round. I want to shine a well-deserved spotlight on our exceptional Clean Team, who work diligently every day to keep our streets, public spaces, and parks inviting and well-maintained, especially during storm season. I invite you to watch our new online video series showcasing how this Team, and countless others, work hard every day to protect and beautify our City. On behalf of the City Commission and our dedicated staff, I wish you a safe and memorable summer, and I hope to see you at one of the incredible events our City is fortunate to host.
Welcome to the Summer! This is a perfect time to embrace how special it is to live in a city that works to keep a small town feeling. Our daily lives can get incredibly busy, but these months offer us a natural invitation to slow down, enjoy the outdoors, and spend meaningful time with the people who matter most. From morning gatherings at our exceptional local parks to evening strolls through our vibrant neighborhoods, the spirit of togetherness is alive and well across Sunrise. We are kicking off this quarter with a truly historic milestone that you absolutely will not want to miss. We are incredibly excited to welcome everyone to our annual July 4th Celebration , which holds an extra special place in our hearts this year as we join together to honor America’s 250th birthday. To mark this monumental occasion, we have designed a spectacular day packed with patriotism and family fun. The excitement starts at 9:00 am with our traditional parade marching down Sunset Strip, leading straight into a festive Family Fun Day at City Park, featuring children’s rides, music, and amazing local food vendors. Later that evening, the celebration shifts to the Amerant Bank Arena for an energized live concert, a breathtaking drone show, and our legendary fireworks display. Admission and parking are free, so bring the whole family to share in this unforgettable celebration of freedom. As we head into August, our focus turns toward supporting the bright future of our city’s youth. Mark your calendars for Saturday, August 1st, for our annual Back-to-School Splash . This wonderful community tradition is all about helping our local students prepare for the upcoming school year with confidence. Families
Michael J. Ryan, Mayor
