The American Disabilities Foundation’s Boating & Beach Bash for People with Disabilities is returning from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Feb. 21, 2026, at Spanish River Park in Boca Raton. The event is the nation’s largest, free, one-day event for people with disabilities, both seen and unseen. The Bash is returning for its 17th annual edition. All people with disabilities, their family members, and supportive caregivers are invited to the Bash to enjoy scheduled boat rides, special access to the beach and ocean with Mobi-Mats, a Kids Fun Zone, therapy workshops led by trained specialists, wheelchair yoga, music, costumed dance parties, therapy ponies and dogs, a BBQ lunch, and more. YMCA’s water safety and physical therapists will be on-hand to give attendees access to the water and other recreational activities on the beach like surfing lessons. The Bash depends on volunteer boat captains and crew who donate their vessels for a day of fun. Interested in volunteering at the Bash? The committee is currently accepting applications for volunteers here.
