The Cruisey Baby Initiative, is expanding Cruiser Palooza from a single day fundraiser into a curated, two day multi-disciplinary cultural festival taking place May 21-22, 2027, at Old School Square in Delray Beach. Friday Night introduces, for the first time, a dedicated event in partnership with ‘SubTropic Film Festival‘ that will feature a screening of short-films highlighting Florida indie filmmakers through the lens of disability, arts, and mental health. The ticketed event includes a moderated post screening creator Q&A.

Saturday Night features the signature family friendly evening festival delivering live music, art vendor booths/installations, live painting, food truck row, corn-hole tournament, and both exciting silent and live auctions. Cruiser Palooza is scaling its local impact by weaving the event directly into the fabric of Delray Beach’s established cultural distric through cross promotions and on-site collaborations with prominent neighborhood institutions Arts Warehouse & Arts Garage. 

The ultimate vision for this nonprofit organization is to be able to improve the quality of life of those struggling to maintain a healthy and fulfilling lifestyle with a Spinal Cord Injury. The best way to accomplish this is through direct financial assistance, emotional support, and valuable guidance, particularly for those who have recently been affected by such injuries.

We hope you will join us this year, in the spirit of giving back and supporting those in need within our community!!
