About The Boating & Beach Bash For People With
Disabilities
The Bash was started in 2009 as an event hosted by
the City of Boca Raton Advisory Board for People with
Disabilities. The city relinquished the Bash in 2011
to the management of the late Executive Director Jay
Van Vechten and his wife, Lowell. Since then, through
community support and donations, the couple and the
Bash’s planning committee have pushed the event’s
growth beyond wildest expectations. Welcoming more
than 6,000 guests in 2020, the Bash has become the
largest, free, wholly disability-friendly event in the
country with a full schedule of entertainment, recreation,
boat rides, beach access, vendors, exhibitions,
workshops and food in the nation. It has also become
a Spring Break destination event in South Florida,
drawing families from as far away as California and
New York. Learn more at www.boatingbeachbash.com.
