Tallahassee was named an All-America City for the third time over the weekend.

The award came from the National Civic League, one of the oldest non-profit civic organizations focused on municipalities in the country.

This year’s recognitions were given to ten cities around America that are working to strengthen environmental sustainability. Tallahassee was recognized in part for its Clean Energy Plan, which aims for 100% net clean renewable energy by 2050.

The large Tallahassee delegation present in Denver to receive the award on Sunday began chanting "Heyyyyy, Tallahassee" when their city was called.

At the event, Tallahassee Mayor John Dailey thanked city staff, other commissioners, and attendees from other cities.

“It is very, very refreshing to spend an entire weekend with a group of citizens who love their communities as much as we love our community, and this is what it's all about," he said.

Tallahassee also received an award for its social media presence.

The awards come at a pivotal time for Dailey, who will be running for a third term in 2026, according to the conservative-leaning outlet Tallahassee Reports.
