a little extra flavor this week

Dear Hive,

Cinco de Mayo is a reminder that life is meant to be celebrated with good food, great people, and moments that bring us together. In Miami, any excuse for a little extra color and connection feels right at home. As we head into a new week, we’re sharing fresh inspiration, local happenings, and buzz-worthy finds to keep you connected to the people, places, and experiences that make our community special. Looking for ways to celebrate? Be sure to check out our event calendar online for local happenings and festive spots around town.

CLIMBING FOR A CAUSE

Supporters came out to climb for a cause at Bouldering for Blindness, an unforgettable evening of rock climbing in the dark benefiting Miami Lighthouse for the Blind. Guests enjoyed a fun and meaningful night filled with glowing lights, music, raffles, and plenty of community spirit while raising funds to support the important programs and services Miami Lighthouse provides for individuals who are blind or visually impaired. A special thank you to The Edge Rock Gym for their incredible generosity and support. They are a wonderful community partner, and we are lucky to have them in Miami. Thank you to everyone that donated or showed up.

BOOK CLUB EXPERIENCE AT THE COLLAB

The Hive gathered in the library at The Collab for our Book Club Experience featuring My Husband’s Wife. With delicious food, great conversation, and plenty of lively discussion about the book, it was the perfect evening to connect, share perspectives, and enjoy time together. One of the best parts of book club is always the community: meeting new friends, catching up with familiar faces, and making every gathering feel like more than just a discussion, but a true Hive experience.

BOOK CLUB EXPERIENCE: LADY TREMAINE

Step into a fresh twist on a familiar fairytale at our next 305 Hive® Book Club Experience, featuring Lady Tremaine. This bestselling novel reimagines the story of Cinderella from the so-called “wicked stepmother’s” point of view, blending royal drama, family secrets, and powerful themes of motherhood, resilience, and women rewriting their own stories. Think Bridgerton meets a classic fairytale with a modern edge. JOIN us for great conversation, wine, light bites, and a room full of book lovers, because every good story is better when shared.

MARGARITA SALT RIMMER SET

Cinco de Mayo calls for a little fun at home, and a margarita salt rimmer set is the perfect entertaining upgrade. It makes happy hour feel a little more festive and adds that restaurant-style touch to taco night, backyard gatherings, or girls’ night in. Pair it with a fun glass set or cocktail mixer for an easy hostess gift or celebration must-have. Because honestly, a plain rim on Cinco de Mayo just feels underdressed.
