Riverside Theatre Opens Season with a Triumph: My Vaudeville Man!

ENTERTAINMENT ON TAP! In a glowing review for Vero Beach 32963, critic Terry Girard calls Riverside Theatre’s season opener, My Vaudeville Man!, "entertainment on tap." Girard praises the "playful and clever" score, noting that Joseph Cullinane shows “the charisma and skill that made the real-life Donahue a star,” while Terra C.

Cats, Ballet and Hokusai: VBMA’s November

Long before Hello Kitty became the queen of Japanese pop culture, cats were already making themselves at home in Japanese art, bringing good fortune and hinting at a hidden world of magic. That’s where November begins at the Vero Beach Museum of Art, and it builds from there to a ballet retrospective, the opening of the 45th International Lecture Series, and a blockbuster of Japanese printmaking on loan from Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.

Big Candy, Bugs and the Daylight Savings Delusion

Sometime around 2 a.m. this Sunday, November 1, the country gets an hour back, and by breakfast half of us will be standing in the kitchen trying to remember how to reset the clock on the microwave. Before you go digging for the manual, you should know who to thank for all this, because it isn’t who you’ve been told. Despite what you may have picked up in grade school, it wasn’t the farmers. When Congress first put the country on clock-shifting in 1918, the agricultural lobby

Well this time, also according to Travel + Leisure, we took the top spot on Skyscanner’s list of the top trending travel destinations for Americans in 2027! Searches for round-trip flights to Vero tripled over the past year, more than any other place on the list. That put us ahead of everywhere from Bimini to Da Nang, Stockholm to Glasgow, with Olbia i

VBMA Gets Packing for Its Big Move

The Vero Beach Museum of Art is getting ready to move into its new space on A1A, and if you have a soft spot for the building you know and love in Riverside Park, this winter is your last chance to see it as it is.

Meet The Hub, the 6,000-square-foot building located at 1716 Highway A1A, the former location of Hazel
