The Allure of Passover Programs in Florida for 2026

Choosing where to go for Pesach can feel overwhelming — especially with so many Florida Passover programs to pick from. For 2026, families are once again looking for warm weather, convenience, high-quality kosher food, and programs that take the stress out of Yom Tov. Florida remains one of the top choices, offering beautiful beaches, great spring weather, and resorts that deliver Glatt Kosher dining, inspiring Seders, daily minyanim, kids’ programming, and plenty of Chol Hamoed activities.

 

Whether you're thinking about the Gulf Coast near Tampa, the beaches of Fort Lauderdale, the relaxed atmosphere of Palm Beach and West Palm Beach, or a family-friendly getaway in Orlando, Florida has a Pesach program for every type of traveler. Below is a look at the Passover programs already announced for 2026, with more expected soon. 

 

Before we focus on Florida, it helps to understand why Passover programs across the United States continue to be so popular. These programs take the pressure off families and create a complete Yom Tov experience from start to finish.

 

A Hassle-Free Holiday

For anyone who has ever made Pesach at home, the appeal is obvious. No deep cleaning, no marathon grocery trips, and no cooking for days on end. Passover programs handle everything — from beautifully prepared Seders to daily meals and snacks — so you can simply arrive and enjoy the chag.

 

A Welcoming Community Atmosphere

Programs include daily minyanim, shiurim, and lectures, creating an environment that feels both uplifting and connected. Guests come from all over the world, and many families return year after year because of the friendships and community they’ve built.

 

Entertainment for All Ages

Most programs offer extensive kids’ programming, teen activities, and a full lineup of evening entertainment for adults. Well-known singers, comedians, mentalists, magic shows, and even casino nights are common features, making sure everyone has something to enjoy.

 

Gourmet Kosher Dining

One of the biggest draws is the food. Programs bring in talented chefs who create beautifully presented, kosher-for-Passover meals that still feel inventive and delicious. It’s hard to believe the food is Pesach-friendly — and even harder to imagine going back to cooking it all yourself. 

 

Florida has long been one of the most sought-after Passover destinations, and it’s easy to see why. The combination of warm spring weather, family-friendly attractions, and a wide range of programs makes it an ideal place to spend Pesach.

 

Ideal Spring Climate

Florida’s warm, sunny weather is a major draw for families who want to enjoy Pesach outdoors. Early April brings comfortable temperatures perfect for swimming, relaxing by the pool, and spending time at the beach. Unlike many other parts of the U.S., Florida offers consistently pleasant weather throughout the chag.

 

Close to Family-Friendly Attractions

If you're traveling with kids, Florida offers endless Chol Hamoed options. Orlando is home to Disney World, Universal, and a range of theme parks, while other areas offer zoos, aquariums, children’s museums, boat rides, nature preserves, and beautiful outdoor spaces for hiking and picnics. It’s an easy way to turn Pesach into a full family vacation.

 

Programs for Every Style and Budget

Florida offers a diverse selection of Passover programs — beachfront resorts, golf and spa retreats, family-focused hotels, and properties with large outdoor spaces. Whether you want a laid-back beach getaway or a more structured resort experience, there’s a program that fits your travel style. 
 

Florida continues to be one of the most popular destinations for Pesach, and many of last year’s programs are returning for 2026. Families can once again choose from beachfront resorts, golf and spa properties, and private villa experiences — all offering Glatt Kosher cuisine, daily minyanim, kids’ programming and a relaxing Yom Tov atmosphere.
