Hometown Favorite Tommy Paul Returns to 2026 Delray Beach Open

October 14th, 2025

The Delray Beach Open announced today that world Top 20 player and local resident Tommy Paul has committed to play the 2026 tournament. He will join No. 4 Taylor Fritz and No. 12 Casper Ruud, who the tournament previously announced.

The ATP 250 tournament runs Feb. 13-22 at the Delray Beach Stadium & Tennis Center. Tickets are available now at DelrayBeachOpen.com.

Paul’s 2025 season started strong with a quarterfinal finish at the Australian Open that helped him crack into the world’s Top 10 for the first time in January. He reached a second straight Grand Slam quarterfinal at the French Open, where he and Frances Tiafoe became the first American men since 2003 to reach the final eight there. He’s also reached four semifinals this year.

“Delray is one of my favorite events of the year,” said Paul, who reached a career-high world ranking of No. 8 in June. “Always fun getting to play in my backyard. I was gutted to miss this event in 2025 and really excited to be back in 2026.”

In 2024 Paul won a career-best 45 matches and was one of only four players to capture three ATP Tour titles during the season in which he also reached the Delray Beach Open final. He owns four career titles overall.

In addition to the highs of reaching two Grand Slam quarterfinals and cracking into the Top 10 this year, Paul and longtime girlfriend Paige Lorenze announced their engagement in July.

Fritz is the Delray Beach Open 2023-24 champion and will try to become the first player in the event’s 34-year history to win it three times. Ruud is making his debut at the tournament 28 years after his father, Christian, played in the event. Both Fritz (2024 US Open) and Ruud (2022-23 French Open, 2022 US Open) are Grand Slam finalists.

Watch for more player announcements in the coming weeks.

In 2026, the tournament will feature new food and beverage options and VIP events including the Serve & Savor party, part of the always popular Delray Beach Open Food & Wine Series that hosts over 40 of the top restaurants, food purveyors, and spirit partners in South Florida. All of the Food & Wine Series events sold out in 2025. The 10-day tournament is peppered with parties, special recognition days, clinics and exclusive events. Fans can check out the full list of special events now at DelrayBeachOpen.com so they’re not left on the sidelines come February.

The 10-day Delray Beach Open will begin with a FAN FEST Weekend Feb. 13-15 featuring a Legends event with a field of the game’s past stars. Qualifying matches will be Feb. 14-15, and singles and doubles main draw action for the ATP 250 event starts Monday, Feb. 16 and concludes with the finals on Sunday, Feb. 22.

Single session tickets and series packages are on sale including Reserved seats and Courtside Box seats that include access to the VIP Clubhouse Lounge, VIP parking and the Box Holders’ Reception. There is limited availability for the Best Seats in the House – director’s chairs right on the court – and the shaded Veranda seats which this year also include light bites, soft drinks, beer and wine. Visit DelrayBeachOpen.com to purchase tickets.

The Delray Beach Open has been both a launching pad for stardom and a place for the game’s elite to raise the trophy. Past Delray Beach champions include former US Open winners Marin Cilic and Juan Martin del Potro, Grand Slam finalists Fritz, Kei Nishikori and Kevin Anderson, and former top 10 players Tiafoe and Hubert Hurkacz. Other competitors over the previous 33 years of the ATP 250 event include a roster of Hall of Famers and fan-favorites with Andre Agassi, Andy Roddick, Lleyton Hewitt, Tommy Haas, Patrick Rafter, Jim Courier, Michael Chang, the Bryan Brothers, the Woodies, Ivan Lendl, Mats Wilander and Jimmy Connors among the most notable.

Lila Nikole and Platinum FUBU Bring the Amazonia Experience to Miami Swim Week

Published

on

Miami Swim Week is about to get even more immersive. On Sunday, May 31 at 2:00 PM, designer Lila Nikole will present The Golden Standard: Amazonia Experience at Tequila Town in Miami, debuting a new collaboration with Platinum FUBU during one of fashion’s biggest weekends in South Florida.


May 15, 2026

Inspired by the richness and mystique of the Brazilian rainforest, the presentation moves beyond the traditional runway format and into a cinematic, multi sensory experience where fashion, storytelling, music, and visual artistry come together in one space.

Known for her bold and culture driven design aesthetic, Lila Nikole transforms the venue into what organizers describe as a living narrative filled with character led moments and immersive visual storytelling. The event will also introduce a limited edition Lila Nikole x Platinum FUBU collection, marking a new chapter for both brands.

“This collaboration is incredibly personal for me,” says Lila Nikole. “Growing up in Queens, FUBU was more than a brand, it was a cultural force that shaped my earliest connection to fashion and identity. To now partner with a label that played such a pivotal role in my journey feels truly full circle.”

The collection reimagines Platinum FUBU’s iconic legacy through Lila Nikole’s creative lens, blending the brand’s signature identity with a modern, luxury focused perspective.

The event also coincides with the continued expansion of Platinum FUBU, the designer driven evolution of the iconic label known for its premium materials and fashion forward silhouettes.

Adding to the atmosphere, Miami based cultural partner Miamibloco will feature Bateria Saideira, described as the largest Rio style samba percussion orchestra in the United States. Music throughout the experience will also include sounds by DJ Dinero and DJ Trauma.

Rather than separating guests from the presentation, the experience is intentionally designed to feel intimate and barrier free. Attendees will move throughout the space while engaging directly with the craftsmanship, textures, and details that define both Lila Nikole’s aesthetic and Platinum FUBU’s luxury direction.

Event Details

What: The Golden Standard: Amazonia Experience by Lila Nikole in collaboration with Platinum FUBU
When: Sunday, May 31, 2026 at 2:00 PM
Where: Tequila Town, 4710 NW 37th Ave, Miami, FL 33142

Palace Bar Is the Pulse of Miami Beach Pride 2026

Published

on

Set across from the restored rainbow crosswalk, this Ocean Drive favorite is once again becoming the heart of Miami Beach Pride.


April 8, 2026

As Miami Beach Pride 2026 returns to Ocean Drive this April, Palace Bar Miami Beach is once again set to be one of the biggest centers of the celebration. Known for its drag shows, open-air dining, and longtime place in South Florida’s LGBTQ+ community, Palace will host a full schedule of Pride Week events while standing directly across from one of the most meaningful new symbols of the weekend: the restored rainbow crosswalk in Miami Beach.

On Friday, April 10, the City of Miami Beach will unveil the rebuilt LGBTQIA+ rainbow crosswalk in Lummus Park, just steps from the Palace on Ocean Drive. The installation was recreated using 3,606 salvaged pavers from the original 2009 crosswalk, giving the city a renewed and permanent symbol of LGBTQ+ visibility, unity, and pride. Its location across from the Palace makes the venue a natural backdrop for one of the most talked-about moments of Miami Beach Pride 2026.

That visibility is nothing new for Palace. Owned by Tom Donall, a co-founder of Miami Beach Pride, Palace has spent nearly four decades building its reputation as one of the most iconic LGBTQ+ venues in Miami Beach. For locals and visitors alike, it has become a go-to destination for drag entertainment, brunch, nightlife, and community on Ocean Drive.

This year’s Palace Bar Miami Beach Pride lineup runs from April 8 through April 12 and includes some of the week’s biggest events. The schedule features the Miami Beach Pride Pageant on April 8, the Haus of Gucci Ball on April 10, and a full weekend of brunches, rooftop events, performances, and DJ sets from Oscar Velasquez and Jrny. Pride weekend will close on Sunday, April 12, with a major final celebration featuring DJ Dani Brasil and appearances by RuPaul’s Drag Race stars Jimbo and Trinity the Tuck.

With the return of the rainbow crosswalk and a major lineup of performances and events, Palace is positioned to be one of the defining destinations of Miami Beach Pride 2026. The venue continues to bring together nightlife, performance, and LGBTQ+ culture in a way that feels both celebratory and deeply rooted in Miami Beach’s history.
