Miami-Dade Mayor Pardons Pig ‘Six Seven’ in Little Havana Holiday Tradition

The Cuban-themed cafe’s annual ceremony models the White House turkey pardon, sending the animal to a rural sanctuary.

Overview

  • Mayor Daniella Levine Cava delivered the ceremonial pardon at Latin Cafe 2000 in Little Havana on Dec. 9.
  • Organizers said Six Seven will live out its days at a rural sanctuary far from roasting pits.
  • The pig was donated by a Coral Gables firefighter and named for the viral “six-seven” slang that Dictionary.com selected as 2025’s word of the year.
  • The celebration reframed Miami’s pork-centered holiday customs with a vegetarian menu of spinach croquetas and cafecito.
  • Coverage noted pointed allusions to high-profile presidential pardons and references to local immigrant concerns in the mayor’s remarks.
