BOHEMIAN BEACH BASH
"Street Dance with Attitude"
For those new to the Bohemian Beach Bash, the event can be vaguely described as a themed street dance. Although we try to provide attendees with a different feel than typical street dances, it does carry many of the same features, plus more! Just a couple of these include side games as well as a wider selection of beverages to help the night be that much more enjoyable. Recent year’s have seen an additional opening act as well as upgraded amenities. Come and see for yourself what memories you will make at the Bohemian Beach Bash!
The Bohemian Beach Bash is also the same weekend as the annual Beat Breast Cancer Mud Volleyball Tournament held by Pink Bandana. As we are two separate organizations with similar end goals, we continue to work together to make the entire weekend one that attendees are sure to enjoy, all the while supporting a number of great causes.
Why Bohemian?
The term “Bohemian” originates from a group of Czech dialects used in Bohemia or modern day Czech Republic. One definition of the slang term is “a person who has informal and unconventional social habits.” As the event is held in the heart of the Bohemian Alps, it only seems fitting to bring together the two things ‘Bohemians’ enjoy the most…ice cold beverages and social gatherings! However, one more thing was missing to make the ultimate summer gathering…the beach! As we know, the only way to combine all three in a beach-less community was to do it the Bohemian way! Thus; by bringing the beach to us, the Bohemian Beach Bash was born.
Event Proceeds
Proceeds from the annual Bohemian Beach Bash go directly towards the Jacob Smaus SuperHero Scholarship Fund, event infrastructure, and our latest community initiative. Previous event funds have helped support two local residents with medical expenses due to cancer treatments as well as our latest donation to help rebuild the Prague Village Park.
For the 2019 event, a portion of the proceeds was also allocated to directly support the Pink Bandana organization. This is thanks to the generosity of Borderline, the event's entertainment for 2019. As family of Abbie Vialpando, whom was an avid supporter of Pink Bandana and the annual mud volleyball tournament, the band will be performing in her honor.
The inaugural Jacob Smaus SuperHero Scholarship was awarded to Natalie Abendroth with the most recent scholarship awarded to Hunter Kelley, both highly active students at the University of Nebraska in Lincoln. Learn Natalie's and Hunter's story here. It is because of you that we are able to award such deserving students, and we are greatly appreciative of each and every person who contributes their time at the Bohemian Beach Bash. Jacob Smaus was an avid supporter and member of our organization. His joy for helping others while having fun is just one of the reasons the Bohemian Beach Bash serves to carry on his character and values.
All members of Seven Mile Ridez, Inc, are volunteers and do not accept compensation for our efforts to make every event unique and successful. We take pride in giving back, which is why we greatly appreciate those who support and attend our events so we can continue to do so!
