 (PRESS RELEASE)_(NORTH PALM BEACH, FL) -- Are you getting excited?
On Saturday, December 7th, the 25th Annual Palm Beach Holiday Boat Parade (PBHBP) and Toy Drive benefiting Toys for Tots and Little Smiles, presented by the Marine Industries Association of Palm Beach County, will bring tens of thousands of people, more than 10,000 toys, dozens of decorated vessels, a fireworks show and holiday cheer to the waterfront from North Palm Beach to the Jupiter Inlet Lighthouse. This impactful event has become a holiday favorite, and it’s also the largest toy collection event for Toys for Tots in the United States. Last year, the event collected 11,273 toys. Leading the parade this year directly behind the Zambelli Fireworks barge, we are proud to welcome back Grand Marshals Mo & Sally from KOOL 105.5. Also back this year is Santa Claus who will be making an appearance on the last boat of the night sponsored by Little Smiles. Another exciting change for this year is with our television partner WPBF 25. Similar to last year, WPBF 25 will broadcast the PBHBP LIVE December 7th at 6p.m. on the WPBF 25 News Facebook page, wpbf.com, and in the WPBF 25 News App. What is really exciting is that the multi-camera telecast of the PBHBP will also air on WPBF 25 ABC the following weekend, on Sunday, December 15th at 7:00 p.m. WPBF 25 News anchor Felicia Rodriguez and Alyssa Freeman will co-host the event, along with other WPBF 25 personalities reporting from the parade route. This is the FIRST ever television broadcast of the PBHBP! There are several viewing locations from North Palm Beach to the Jupiter Inlet Lighthouse. There will be extended fireworks at the North Palm Beach Country Club, Harbourside Place, and a grand finale in Jupiter sponsored by Square Grouper Tiki Bar, U-Tiki, Jetty’s Waterfront Restaurant and Pelican Club. “This event quickly became my favorite... (and has) evolved tremendously since its inception, from the route, to planning committee, to benefiting charities, to judging, and more." -- MIAPBC Executive Director Alyssa Freeman 25 Years in the Making: Looking Back on PBHBP History The very first PBHBP was called “Boat Parade of the Palm Beaches.” It was briefly split into two parades and hosted on back-to-back weeks. One was in Downtown West Palm Beach and the other started at Peanut Island and traveled north. This was years before being combined to create what is now the Palm Beach Holiday Boat Parade.  Old Port Cove Marina, home to Belle's Bar & Grill Since we located here over five years ago, one of our favorite places in North Palm Beach is Sandpiper's Cove, the waterfront restaurant and bar at the Old Port Cove Marina. We've written about it extensively on the website as one of the few upscale area restaurants located on the water.
Since the marina was acquired by Safe Harbor, there have been extensive renovations in progress, and today we learned it's not only getting a new look, but also a new name: Belle's Bar & Grill, which will have its grand opening Dec. 14. We'll be posting more about it coming soon. In the meantime, here's their press release: Grand Opening of Belle’s Bar & Grill: Hooking fish and people "We are serving up the freshness! The menu is paradise on a plate, and the views are mouthwatering. We are bringing the best of New England (like some wicked good Maine Lobstah’) with the freshest and best from Palm Beach (think pineapple salsa over grouper). With fresh food, comes fresh vibes…obvi. You will enjoy your excellent food with an excellent view. We just hope you brought excellent friends. Because you are going to want to stay after dinner for our fun-in-mind designed bar. Trust us, the fish won’t be the only ones hooked." GRAND OPENING DETAILS: "The Grand Opening for your new favorite restaurant is December 14, 2019. Our doors open at 5 O’Clock, and we will not be taking reservations. In addition to a killer menu (for the fish) and perfect views, we will be offering giveaways, cocktail sampling, and MUCH MORE! Mark your calendars, bring those excellent friends, and join us for one of those nights that you can you boast about to your other friends, 'Yeah, we were there at the Grand Opening of Belle’s Bar & Grill'.” LOCATION: Belle's Bar & Grill 116 Lakeshore Dr North Palm Beach, FL  Jeff Foxworthy brings his blue collar comedy to Seminole Casino Coconut Creek (PRESS RELEASE)_COCONUT CREEK – Enjoy a memorable evening of blue collar comedy with funny man Jeff Foxworthy who will perform two shows in The Pavilion at Seminole Casino Coconut Creek on Sunday, February 9, 2020 at 5 p.m. and 8 p.m.

LaPointe, casting by Telsey + Company, Bethany Knox, CSA, and General Management by Baseline Theatrical. The musical is produced by Jeffrey Seller, Sander Jacobs, Jill Furman and The Public Theater.
