Want to celebrate the Olympics with Miami's most visible competitor -- and New Times cover subject -- Danell Leyva in person?

You're in luck, because family and friends will welcome home the bronze medalist gymnast with a party this Sunday, August 12 at Brickell Irish Gastropub.

The party, which runs from 6:30 p.m. - 11 p.m., will mark both the closing of the 2012 games and the achievement of Leyva, who returns to the Sunshine State with a little extra bling he acquired in London -- a bronze in the men's all-around.

The party will feature special guests, giveaways, drink specials, and the largest HD screen in Brickell.

In

addition to fans, friends, and family, Mayor Tomas Regalado and Miami city commissioners will be on hand to honor

Leyva with the City of Miami's Crystal of Excellence medal.
