Bad Bunny spent the weekend playing dominoes with locals in his native Puerto Rico, but his presence was felt in Miami on Sunday when O, Miami hosted its anticipated Bad Bunny lookalike contest at Roberto Clemente Park.

"Poetry, Paperbacks & Piraguas," part of the nonprofit's month-long poetry-themed events and activations, celebrated Puerto Rican music, food, and art. Tribute de Plena provided the live soundtrack, flower arrangements and artworks emblazoned with Bad Bunny's likeness decorated the park, and El Bori food truck served up arroz con gandules and pernil. It was a family-friendly affair, with arts and crafts activities for kids and free books provided by Bookleggers Library, which partnered with Puerto Rican grassroots organization La Mesa Boricua for the event.

But the main draw was the Bad Bunny lookalike contest, which drew Benito clones dressed in his more recent, laid-back fashion: white tees, blazers, khakis, shades, and baseball caps. The contestants stepped up to the mic to show off their best Benito impressions, reciting their favorite Bad Bunny lines for the crowd.

In the end, Miami's Kevin Amaro was named the top Bad Bunny lookalike, with three-year-old Marcelo coming in a close second. Crowned with a straw pava reading, "Benito," Amaro won bragging rights and a one-year membership to El Car Wash.
