MLB Stars and Fans Mingle at Sea
Bahamas Paradise Cruise Line hosted several former MLB players onboard Grand Classica for an ‘All-Star’ themed sailing departing from the Port of Palm Beach.
March 5th – 7th, 2022
Whether a baseball enthusiast or simply somebody that enjoys sports, the ‘All-Stars at Sea’ weekend event created memories that are sure to last a lifetime. Afterall, it’s not often that fans get much more than a quick hello, an autograph or a photo opp with notable athletes, but the team behind the event, created several keepsake memories.
To really immerse fans with the players, beyond just stumbling by them onboard the ship, fans had the opportunity to participate alongside them in a softball game vs a local Bahamian team on Grand Bahama Island and they also got to chat with them in an exclusive Q&A session. Complimentary transportation was given to-and-from the game with access to local food vendors and more. Several guests and players were able to take home gifts reflecting the island culture of the Bahamas as well as try the ever-popular drink the “Gully Wash.”
On the ship, the session proved to be a great learning experience about all these great players, which included Charles Johnson, Antonio Alfonseca, Julián Tavárez, Luis Alicea, Rick Ankiel, Gaby Sánchez, Heathcliff Slocumb and Hall of Famer Andre “Hawk” Dawson. While each athlete told some of their favorite memories and brought several laughs across the room, the “Hawk” seemingly stole the show. For those of you that have never heard the legendary ball player recall the past, it’s like having an older relative tell you a story where you literally hang on every word and everybody around you is silent and locked in. Just an absolute novelty.

Veggies Made Great helped fuel a family-friendly weekend of free workouts, paddleboarding, coffee, small bites, and feel-good fun at 96th Street Park.
May 18, 2026
Surfside brought the good vibes this weekend with Paddletopia 2026, a two-day wellness and outdoor lifestyle event that turned 96th Street Park into a sunny little hub for movement, community, and family-friendly fun.
Held on Saturday, May 16 and Sunday, May 17 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., the event welcomed kids, adults, fitness lovers, coffee drinkers, paddleboarders, and anyone looking for a fresh-air weekend by the water. The best part? So many of the experiences were free, making it easy for families and locals to drop in, move around, and enjoy the day without overthinking it.
The workout classes were a highlight, bringing plenty of energy to the park with approachable, upbeat sessions that made wellness feel fun instead of intimidating. Between the fitness classes, paddleboarding, live music, wellness activations, and relaxed outdoor atmosphere, Paddletopia had that perfect South Florida mix of active and easygoing.
Of course, no great weekend event is complete without good bites. Veggies Made Great, an official event partner, kept guests fueled with complimentary samples of their veggie-packed favorites, including the Spinach Egg White Frittata and Lemon Blueberry Muffin. The samples were a smart fit for the day: light, wholesome, tasty, and easy to enjoy between activities. Paired with coffee and other small bites available throughout the event, it made for the kind of simple, satisfying spread that both kids and adults could get behind.
The event also had a thoughtful environmental angle through the “Paddle for Plastic” initiative with Plastic Fisherman, encouraging attendees to help clean Surfside canals in exchange for eco-friendly rewards. It added a meaningful layer to the weekend, blending wellness, community, and environmental care in a way that felt natural for a coastal town like Surfside.
Overall, Paddletopia 2026 felt like exactly what a South Florida weekend should be: outdoorsy, welcoming, active, delicious, and just a little bit sun-kissed. From free fitness classes to better-for-you snacks and community-focused fun, Surfside gave families a reason to get outside and enjoy the best of wellness by the water.
To bring a little of that Paddletopia feel-good energy home, check out more of the veggie-packed muffins, frittatas, and easy breakfast favorites from Veggies Made Great at https://www.veggiesmadegreat.com/
