This new Saturday highlight invites guests to stroll between stations, sip, savor creative bites, and socialize in an open-air setting where every bite and pour brings the fun. $225 per person

**New Event** BUBBLES & BITES: A YACHT ROCK EXPERIENCE Presented by VioLife

Taking place poolside at PGA National Resort, this spirited walk-around returns after a brief hiatus last year. Attendees can anticipate sparkling wines, inventive cocktails, and chef-crafted bites from culinary heavy hitters, including Nina Compton, Joe Flamm, the Forgione family, Sarah Grueneberg, Mason Hereford, Chris Shepherd, Stephen Stryjewski, and Maggie Scales, along with PGA’s signature restaurants. Ticketed guests will enjoy an open-air evening of chef-crafted bites and laid-back yacht rock classics from the ‘70s and ‘80s. $250 per person
