Miami Fort Lauderdale, FL, October 21, 2026 —
The Mary Brickell Foundation has launched a 39-day calendar of events across the Miami-Fort Lauderdale area focused on Mary Brickell and her role in the city’s founding.
The new organization says the program is intended to celebrate and educate the public about Brickell’s contribution, which it describes as significant but often overlooked. The calendar includes walking tours, lectures and a look-alike contest. Prominent local institutions are hosting activities, though the institutions were not named in the information provided.
The announcement describes a multi-event program rather than a single gathering. It does not specify when the 39-day calendar begins or ends, where individual events will take place, or whether advance registration is required. It also provides no details about the organizers’ plans for the program after the calendar concludes.
Further information was not provided about the foundation’s leadership, the individual event schedules, or the historical materials and topics that will be covered during the tours and lectures. The announcement likewise does not explain how the look-alike contest will be organized.
The calendar’s stated focus is bringing public attention to Brickell’s place in the city’s founding through a range of educational and community activities. Specific dates, venues and participating institutions would clarify how the program will unfold across the region.
