‘Seas the Day’ at Beach Bash Palm Beach this December

JUPITER, FL – December 11, 2017 – If you know anything about Palm Beach, you know that it all began when a Spanish ship loaded with 20,000 coconuts, the Providencia, ran aground off the Palm Beach coast in 1878.

One account of the shipwreck reads: “I was greeted… With a bottle of wine and a box of cigars… There were 20,000 coconuts, and they seemed like a godsend to the people. For several weeks, everyone was eating coconuts and drinking wine.”

Coconuts, cigars and wine? Sounds like a Palm Beach party to us. Now the ultimate Palm Beach party, Beach Bash Palm Beach, presented by resort-wear icon Lilly Pulitzer is back, benefiting the Sea Turtle Hospital at Loggerhead Marinelife Center.

On Dec. 28 from 8 p.m. to midnight, over 700 philanthropic influencers will descend upon The Beach Club on Palm Beach for this must-attend party of the year. Decked in their brightest Lilly fashion, guests will step back in time aboard the Providencia, and enjoy:

• Lavish libations and bites
• Exciting entertainment
• Mixing with other notables
• Anushka pop-up salon
• Tito’s juice stand
• Kendra Scott buried treasure jewelry pull
• And so much more!

“We are thrilled to return for our second year partnering with resort-wear powerhouse Lilly Pulitzer for this amazing event,” said Jack E. Lighton, LMC president & CEO. “Thisevent celebrates the iconic island life and style of Lilly Pulitzer while showcasing Palm Beach's most treasured environmental assets: sea turtles, magnificent beaches and azure blue ocean waters.”
