About
Florida Monthly® Magazine

Florida Monthly® has served the lifestyle interests of Floridians from Pensacola to Key West and all points in between. As its monthly circulation rocketed, FM's growth caught the eyes and ears of reporters at the Miami Herald, PBS Television, The Wall Street Journal, ABC Evening News and countless other media.

Florida Monthly® carefully studies its readers through third-party surveys and molds its editorial content to suit their lifestyle interests. In-state travel represents Florida Monthly®'s strongest collective reader characteristic. Accordingly, Florida Monthly® features monthly destinations of natural, cultural and historical interest. Sixty-six percent of our readers take three or more in-state sojourns a year.

Florida Monthly® features every aspect of living in the Sunshine State-from water sports to homes and gardens to cooking and dining to outdoor exploring of Florida's every attribute and people. And, Florida Monthly® vigorously pursues Florida's culture through its rich history, fascinating present and its brightly glowing future to satisfy readers’ penchant for Sunshine State knowledge.

Florida Monthly® displays Florida's most comprehensive statewide festivals and events calendar with more than 16,000 cultural attractions listed each year. Florida Monthly®'s museum, theater, concert, sports, festival and fair listings routinely provide readers with in-state travel opportunities.

Florida is a "top four" state in almost every major economic category. From home building to tourism to agriculture, Florida has it all. And people keep coming here to experience it for a week, a month or for the rest of their lives. They all depend on Florida Monthly®-the ultimate authority on Sunshine State life, heritage and travel.
