Another Shucking Good Time at the Sweet Corn Fiesta
Kernels of Joy: Sweet Corn Fiesta Corn-tinues to Bring Smiles Year after Year!
April 28th, 2024
Nestled amidst the rustic charm of Yesteryear Village at the South Florida Fairgrounds, the Sweet Corn Fiesta beckoned visitors to embark on a journey through the flavors and traditions of Palm Beach County. For 24 illustrious years, this beloved event has celebrated the region’s agricultural bounty, with locally grown sweet corn taking center stage in a symphony of taste and community camaraderie.
As attendees wandered through the vibrant green market, the air was alive with the scent of freshly harvested corn, its golden kernels promising a delectable experience for all who partook. Against this backdrop of agricultural abundance, children’s carnival rides were abound, with a carousel, Fun Slides and a Fun House offering an extra layer of delight to the festivities. Laughter echoed across the fairgrounds as youngsters reveled in the thrill of sliding down colorful slides and exploring the whimsical twists and turns of the Fun House, their gleeful shouts mingling with the lively ambiance.
Amidst the bustling activity, the strains of live music filled the air, courtesy of the Andrew Morris Band and Krystal River Band. Their melodies provided the perfect accompaniment to a day of merriment and celebration, inviting attendees to dance amidst the swaying stalks of corn and under the warm Florida sun.
For the adventurous and the competitive, the National Sweet Corn Eating Championship was the ultimate test of skill and gastronomic prowess. As Major League Eaters from across the country converged to vie for glory, the crowd held its breath in anticipation. Last year’s champion, Miki Sudo, captivated audiences once again with her jaw-dropping feat of devouring 56 ears of corn, upping her total and securing her status as a legend in the annals of corn-eating history.
However, before the professional eaters devoured their opposition, all eyes were on the youngsters having a go at the corn. It was a hilarious, wholesome spectacle to say the least.
As the day drew to a close and attendees bid farewell to another memorable Sweet Corn Fiesta, the spirit of community and camaraderie lingered in the air. With hearts full of laughter and bellies full of sweet corn, watermelon and other tasty treats, they departed, already looking forward to the promise of next year’s celebration. For in the timeless tradition of the Sweet Corn Fiesta, the spirit of Palm Beach County’s agricultural heritage lives on, uniting generations in a shared love of good food, good company, and the simple joys of life.

Between flying queens, strong pours, and a room full of Pride week energy, Palace turned Friday night into one of the hottest parties on Ocean Drive.
April 11, 2026
During Miami Beach Pride Week, plenty of venues try to capture the moment, but Palace Bar made Friday night feel like the place everyone wanted to be. The Haus of Gucci Ball brought together drag, fashion, nightlife, and the kind of high energy crowd that made the whole evening feel elevated from the start.
The atmosphere hit immediately. Palace was glowing, the music kept the room alive, and the crowd was fully locked in. It felt vibrant, glamorous, and very Miami Beach. More than just a dinner outing, the night unfolded like a full Pride experience on Ocean Drive.
The clear highlight was a queen whose acrobatic performance completely took over the room. She moved with an incredible mix of strength, control, and confidence, turning the floor into her stage and delivering a routine that felt both dazzling and deeply seductive. At one point, she was flipping around on a man with such effortless precision that the whole crowd seemed to stop at once. It was captivating, sexy, and easily one of the most memorable moments of the night.
The food and drinks absolutely kept up. We had the filet bites and tuna tostones, both perfect for sharing between performances, along with skinny margaritas and lemon drops that were dangerously easy to drink. And yes, Palace was pouring strong, which only added to the fun. The cocktails matched the mood of the night perfectly: bold, smooth, and hard to stop ordering.
What makes Palace Bar work so well during Miami Beach Pride is that the energy never drops. The performers are not just part of the background. They pull the whole room in. The crowd responds, the music keeps moving, and the night keeps building. That kind of momentum is exactly what makes an event feel worth showing up for.
The Haus of Gucci Ball was one part of Palace Bar’s larger Miami Beach Pride Week programming, which has helped make the venue one of the biggest draws on Ocean Drive this week. With events spanning multiple days, Palace has become a go to destination for people looking for drag performances, nightlife, rooftop energy, DJs, and a crowd that wants to celebrate Pride in full.
That is what makes Palace such a fixture during Miami Beach Pride Week. It is not just about location or history. It is about creating nights that actually feel exciting once you are there. Friday night’s Haus of Gucci Ball had the glamour, the chemistry, the performances, and the kind of atmosphere that kept people fully engaged from beginning to end.
If you were at Palace Bar on Friday night, you already know how good it was. If you missed it, this was one of those Miami Beach Pride nights worth hearing about.
