“The Youth Sports & Wellness Festival perfectly captures the spirit of Miami Beach —our community, our families, and our healthy lifestyle,” said Miami Beach Mayor Steven Meiner. “We champion events that transform our public spaces into hubs for health and engagement as part of our broader mission to make Miami Beach the fitness capital of the world.”
The festival kicks off on Friday evening with an opening ceremony that’s part block party, part pep rally. Starting at 5:30 p.m., the community is invited to come together for a night of celebration with mascotappearancesby Billy the Marlin and Miami Heat Mascot Burnie along with live music by Young Musicians Unite. A family zone sponsored in partnership with the Irie Foundation will entertain with inflatables and games.

Kids of all ages will have the opportunity to learn, play, train and compete, while parents step off the sidelines and into the experience alongside them. Festival and skill clinics are free and open to the public. Some tournaments require registration and a $35 per-player donation. To view the weekend lineup and registration, click here.
