BTS MIAMI WIKI
Colombian Community
Colombians have been part of Miami for decades, growing into one of the city's largest South American communities. They brought the bandeja paisa, the vallenato accordion, and a warmth that made Miami feel even more like home for everyone.
We know this community by its gatherings: loud, generous, and always with room for one more at the table.
The story in Miami
Colombian migration to Miami grew steadily from the 1980s and 90s, driven by economic and security crises at home. The community spread across Miami-Dade, Doral, Kendall, Weston, building restaurants, businesses and media that serve both Colombians and the whole city.
Colombian Independence Day celebrations in Miami are among the largest outside Colombia itself.
Where the community lives
Doral, Kendall and Weston hold strong Colombian presence, with restaurants and bakeries across the county. Colombian flavor is woven into daily Miami life, from the office lunch to the late-night rumba.
Food, music, traditions
The bandeja paisa, the ajiaco, empanadas and pandebono. The music: vallenato's accordion storytelling, salsa caleña, and the reggaetón that Colombia now exports to the world. December means natilla and buñuelos, wherever Colombians gather.
The vibe
Colombian Miami is alegría as a discipline: the parranda that starts at lunch and ends at dawn, the family that adopts your friends, the pride that needs no translation. It is one of the city's great social engines.
