🎭 When theatre meets molten glass, things get HOT in St. Pete! 🔥
American Stage is lighting up the Duncan McClellan Gallery with Weird in St. Pete — an immersive, walk-through experience that’s part ghost story, part art show, and 100% pure St. Petersburg magic. Step inside the glowing glass walls and meet the legends, the dreamers, and the downright weird characters that shaped this city’s soul.

Every corner of the gallery becomes a stage, every sculpture a piece of the story. It’s theatre that shimmers, surprises, and surrounds you. ✨

Don’t just watch — feel it. Get weird, get inspired, and get ready for an unforgettable night at the crossroads of art and imagination.

San Diego Bayfair once again transformed Mission Bay into a theater of speed and spectacle, and Family Beautiful was there to capture the magic. Writer Marc Hagest takes readers deep inside the roar and rush of the hydroplanes, where engines screamed across the water at over 200 miles per hour and the shoreline pulsed with the energy of fans, families, and festival-goers.

In his feature, Hagest paints a vivid picture of a weekend that was equal parts racing drama and coastal celebration—sun-soaked days, adrenaline-charged moments, and the kind of excitement that only Bayfair delivers. From the history of the event to the unforgettable highlights of this year’s races, the story dives into what makes Bayfair not just a competition, but a San Diego tradition.

From Dr. Jeffrey Marvin, Food and Art Contributor, while exploring France and Switzerland's Alpine glory.

Cooking at Home on Holiday in Europe: A Taste of Lake Annecy

There’s an art to slowing down on holiday, and for me, it often begins in the kitchen. Returning to my apartment on the edge of Lake Annecy after a day of exploring, I find as much joy in preparing a simple meal as I do in strolling the cobblestone streets of a medieval village.

The markets here are a feast for the senses—vivid displays of just-picked produce, baskets of earthy wild mushrooms, and cheeses so fresh they speak of the alpine meadows they came from. This is where the magic begins. I love choosing a handful of seasonal ingredients and letting them tell the story.
