CoveChella’s Debut in Deerfield Beach Delivers
CoveChella 2024: Where Music, Brews and Community Collide in Deerfield Beach!
July 20th, 2024
The Cove Brewery hosted its first annual CoveChella, a free music and beer festival that transformed the southwest corner of The Cove Shopping Center in Deerfield Beach into a lively celebration of community, music, and exceptional craft brews. Benefiting Captains for Clean Water, this festival marked the brewery’s first anniversary and delivered a memorable experience for attendees of all ages.
CoveChella brought together some of Florida’s top musical acts, including Spred the Dub, Tasty Vibrations, Over on Two and DJ Darby. These performances created a diverse lineup that kept the crowd dancing and entertained throughout the day. The atmosphere was vibrant, with live music providing the perfect backdrop for a day of fun and relaxation.
Adding to the excitement, the festival catered to both adults and children. Adults enjoyed activities like beer pong and cornhole, while the little ones had a blast in the dedicated Kids Zone. Local vendors added to the community feel, offering a variety of products and services. The lineup included Eat, Drink and Be Local, Island Water Sports, Five Elements Spa and The Plunge Bicycle Generation, among others.
When it came to food and drink, CoveChella did not disappoint. Attendees enjoyed Asian bites like dumplings, bao, rice, noodle and tacos from Won-Tom’s, Casa Maya’s own taco cart, fresh seafood from Papa’s Raw Bar, and authentic Italian from Patrizia’s of NYC. Dessert lovers were treated to samples from Whit’s Frozen Custard. To wash it all down, Cove Brewery served up their signature beers like Heat Wave and Tide N’ Seek, along with several seasonal special releases. For those preferring other options, Happy Dad Seltzers and wine were also available.
In addition to the festivities, CoveChella supported a great cause. Captains for Clean Water, the beneficiary of the event, is an organization dedicated to protecting Florida’s waterways.
Guests appreciated the convenience of pre-purchasing drink tickets for special discounts, and additional parking at St. Ambrose School ensured a smooth experience for all.
In its inaugural year, CoveChella was a resounding success, embodying the spirit of community and celebration that Cove Brewery champions. The combination of great music, delicious food, refreshing brews and family-friendly activities created a fun experience for all those who attended. With such a great debut, CoveChella is sure to become a beloved annual tradition in Deerfield Beach.

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/
