That’s a Wrap on Nude-A-Palooza 2025!
What an unforgettable weekend at Cypress Cove! Our annual Nude-A-Palooza Charity Tribute Band Festival once again brought together an incredible mix of music, community, and generosity — all wrapped in that signature Cove spirit. From the electric tribute performances to the laid-back, clothing-optional atmosphere, this year’s celebration truly hit all the right notes.
A special highlight of the week was “Cheesecakes for Boobies,” the beloved fundraiser spearheaded by our very own Herman. In the days leading up to the event, Herman transformed the Game Room into a cheesecake lover’s dream, baking dozens of decadent creations — all in support of the fight against cancer. This cause remains deeply personal to him, and his dedication continues to inspire us all.
This year, Herman once again outdid himself, raising a record-shattering $6,300 from his bake sale! Every dollar was added to the festival’s grand total donation to the Florida Cancer Specialists Foundation. Cheesecakes for Boobies returns October 17, 2026, featuring a brand-new Whole Cheesecake Sampler Auction you won’t want to miss!
When the final notes faded, we proudly presented the Foundation with a check for over $21,000 — an incredible achievement made possible by our guests, residents, volunteers, and staff.
From all of us at Cypress Cove, thank you for showing up with open hearts and generous spirits. Your energy, kindness, and enthusiasm remind us why this event is so special year after year.
Here’s to breaking even more records in 2026 — bigger, better, and bolder than ever! If you’re planning to join the fun, be sure to book early — rooms fill up fast, and next year will require a three-night minimum stay.
Limited Edition Tai Chi
Join Barbara in the Game Room for a gentle and uplifting Tai Chi session designed to improve balance, coordination, and mindfulness. You’ll learn eight simple Tai Chi movements that have been shown to enhance stability and confidence—especially helpful for seniors.
When:
-
Thursday, October 30 | 2:00 – 3:00 PM
All are welcome! Participants will be asked to sign a brief liability waiver before class.
Halloween Events at Cypress Cove
Get ready for a frightfully fun weekend where the Cove comes alive after dark! Friday night kicks off with Speed Limit 70 rocking the Halloween Party at Lakeside... plus trick-or-treating for the kids, Halloween Trivia, a Costume Contest, and a glow-lit pool party that’ll keep the vibes hauntingly good all night long.
Residents, please sign up to hand out candy here! We need to make sure you are on the map handout. You can also reply to the newsletter at Newsletter@CypressCoveResort.com, and we will take care of the rest.
Then on Saturday, November 1, the thrills roll on as Lakeside Live presents the Charlie Redd Band, followed by our Halloween Hayride featuring the Haunted Illuminations Spectacle! Residents, deck out your homes and sign up to be part of the route—our hayriders will cast votes for their favorite display, and the winner will snag a wickedly fun Boos Basket!
It’s two nights of chills, cheers, and cheers-to-you beers—because nobody does Halloween like Cypress Cove. Grab a drink and join your friends around the fire pit. We'll see you there!
Sunday Brunch at Lakeside Restaurant
Join us on Sunday, November 2, for our monthly Sunday Brunch at Lakeside Restaurant. Enjoy a relaxing morning by the water with a delicious selection of breakfast and lunch favorites, chef-inspired specials, and the perfect lakeside atmosphere to start your day off right.
Brunch is served from 8 AM to 1 PM. Gather your friends, bring your appetite, and make the most of a beautiful Sunday at the Cove.
Welcome Back Snowbirds
The wait is over — our favorite flock is back at the Cove! Join us November 7–9 for a weekend full of music, laughter, and lakeside fun as we celebrate the return of our winter residents in true Cypress Cove style.
Soak up the sunshine with pool parties and DJ Dave, test your smarts with trivia nights, dance the night away at Cheeks with Carlos, and enjoy live music poolside plus a dive-in movie under the stars. Don’t forget to check out the Cove Garage Sale on Sunday morning for treasures galore!
It’s the perfect way to kick off the season — reconnect with old friends, make some new ones, and let the good times roll!
Veterans Day Ceremony
Saturday, November 8
Time: 4:00 pm
On Saturday, November 8, we warmly invite you to join us in commemorating Veterans Day at Cypress Cove Nudist Resort. This special event is dedicated to honoring veterans, their cherished family members, and all those who hold the Armed Services close to their hearts.
Please gather with us at 4:00 pm by the flagpole for a heartfelt tribute to the valiant individuals who have selflessly served in the United States Armed Forces. Cypress Cove’s Veterans Day presentation promises to be an unforgettable celebration, shining a well-deserved spotlight on the men and women who have made incredible sacrifices for our nation.
Following the tribute, join us on the deck of Lakeside at 4:30 pm for a casual wine and cheese reception, where we can continue our reflections and conversations in honor of our veterans.
As we embark on the season of Thanksgiving, let us begin by expressing our profound gratitude to these heroic members of our military. Your presence and support would mean so much as we come together to honor their dedication and service
Herman needs YOU!
Our exceptional bartender and dedicated philanthropic leader is seeking your assistance this year. If you would like to be a flag holder, we are desperately looking flag holders for every branch of the armed services including POW-MIA. Please email Herman at TyreeGalon@gmail.com if you are interested.
