The energy at opening ceremonies is always incredible!! Every delegation gets all dressed up with their swag. We got to hear from some amazing speakers.

This year Flo Rida performed at the end of the opening ceremonies! Everyone got really excited and had so much fun. It was awesome to run up to the front with your friends and make some new ones in the crowd.

Shabbat is the best time to get all the pictures with your friends! It’s important to find your favorite spots and snap a few pictures before heading to services.

The best way to spend your Chofesh is hanging out with your summer program friends and walking around BBYO Boulevard. 

A fan favorite moment was when Ross Lynch came out and sang during BBYO Honors on Saturday! 

The IC concert usually happens on Sunday night, but this year it was on Saturday. Noa Kirel and Two Friends performed as the third annual block party took place.

MEET AND GREETS!!! Everyone loves the opportunity to snap a picture with their favorite speakers and performers from IC. Throughout the weekend, you have so many opportunities for meet and greets, and this year was no different. 

We wrapped up the most amazing weekend at Universal Islands of Adventure, where we got to spend the last two hours at the park with just BBYO!
