Surfside will be hosting the Town’s first-ever Paddletopia Paddleboard Festival on May 19 & 20 from 10 a.m. – 2 p.m. Presented by Surfside’s Tourist Bureau, this groovy two-day affair will transform the 96th Street waterfront park into a weekend-long festival with paddleboarding, wellness brands, fitness demos, healthy snacks and family activities.

Paddletopia will feature paddleboarding along the Intracoastal; wellness expo with fitness classes and family boot camp by Sweat Studio Miami on Saturday; yoga class by Modo Yoga Miami Beach on Sunday; an eco-fashion showcase courtesy of tropical knitwear label KRELwear and Pink Coral Miami; live DJ; “chill out” lounges under colorful pergola tents and much more. Stay fueled with healthy fare available for purchase from a food truck, as well as free smoothie and juice samples from Maison Meneau and scoops by Peekaboo Ice Cream.

Complimentary paddle boards in partnership with Miami Beach Paddle board and kayaks will be available to use at a pop-up dock on the waterway, bordering the park. Additional kids’ activities will include an eco-friendly ball pit, a graffiti “train” where children can decorate an inflatable subway car, and a fishing pond. Participants can also enter into contests for a chance to win neat prizes and giveaways. 

Regular parking will be available from the Abbott Lot at 9563 Abbott Avenue.
