Leave it to CELSIUS to turn up the heat at Art Basel 2024!
The energy drink brand headed down to the Sunshine State for their thrilling celebrity charity panel tournament, CELSIUS Padel Classic 2024, at Reserve Miami Seaplane in Miami, Florida on Friday (December 6).
Celebrities like Dwight Howard and Diplo, Brooks Nader and Chris Appleton, Josh Richards and Jake Shane, Taylor Hill, Toni Breidinger, Kaylor Martin, Olivia Walker, Steven Kelly, Tyler Cameron, Camila Coelho, Cindy Prado, Giorgio Merlino, Jason Tartick, Sandra Pohl and Silvana Mojica went head-to-head during the second annual tournament in action-packed Padel matches.
With an extensive guest list that featured a ton of influencers with millions of followers, the Celeb Secrets gals were one of the lucky few to score an invite to the exclusive event, where we rubbed shoulders with Gabriella Moura, Kendall Washington, Nathalie Paris, Daniela Calle, Grace Boor, Luana Barron, Georgia Hassarati, Carly Lawrence, Briana Smith, Giselle Lisboa, Niki Victoria, Rocio Guirao, Jason Oppenheim, Jesse Metcalfe, Peter Weber, Melissa Gorga, Joe Gorga, Batsheva Haart, Dale Moss, Georgia Hassarati, Carly Lawrence, The Pointer Brothers, Jaime Jaquez Jr., Johnny Bananas, Tommy Paul, Rhasidat Adeleke, Lexie Brown and more.
Upon arrival, we were greeted by friendly CELSIUS ambassadors who gave us the rundown of what we could expect from the exclusive event. With a ton of activations from some of our favorite brands, we made sure to stop by the BEIS station first to pick up a belt bag that featured custom embroidery and CELSIUS-themed patches to store our Art Basel necessities for the rest of the weekend. We then headed to Essentials Shop, where we picked up cozy crewnecks, rugby shirts and a ton of CELSIUS-themed merch.
While we cheered on our favs on the court, we sipped on some of the best CELSIUS flavors, including Cherry Cola, Strawberry Kiwi, Watermelon Lemonade, Blue Razz, Peach Vibe, and Tropical Vibe. We even tried the soon-to-be-released innovation, CELSIUS Hydration, while munching on crispy chicken tenders, fries and toast from none other than Raising Cane’s.
As the sun set in Biscayne Bay, we then treated ourselves to a CELSIUS Cherry Cola ice cream floats by Van Leeuwen. With beats from headliners Nina Sky, TWINSICK, and TroyBoi, artist Kristin Konefal captivated us with a live art performance, unveiling a stunning completed piece by the night’s end.
After multiple rounds of padel, Eli Sones and Matthew Halper from Two Friends wound up winning the entire tournament, where they donated $25,000 to their chosen charity, Let’s F Cancer, thanks to CELSIUS® Energy.
With sportsmanship, creativity and giving back at its forefront, the CELSIUS Padel Classic 2024 was hands down one of the best events to grace the city of Miami during Art Basel 2024. We can’t wait to see what’s to come in years ahead!
