A Coruña – September 28, 2026 -- SON Estrella Galicia Posidonia marks its 10th anniversary with a special edition running October 2–4 on the Spanish island of Formentera, capping a decade built on secrecy, intimacy and sustainability rather than mega-lineups.

The festival caps attendance at just 350 people per edition

Unlike most music festivals chasing bigger crowds, SON Estrella Galicia Posidonia has kept its guest list deliberately small since launching, revealing its artist lineup only once the event begins. The 2026 edition, themed "(re)discovering Posidonia," revisits artists and locations that have defined the festival's first nine years.

Fort Lauderdale – September 28, 2026 -- Princess Cruises has become the first global cruise line to launch a native app inside ChatGPT, letting travelers search, compare and plan trips across its fleet using plain conversational language.

Travelers can tag @princesscruises to search 330+ destinations across 17 ships

Once the Princess app is installed in ChatGPT, guests can type requests such as "@princesscruises Show me seven-night cruises that visit Santorini in August 2027" or "@princesscruises Help me plan a cruise to Alaska next summer." Within the same chat, they can compare itineraries and ships, check current pricing and availability, and explore ports, shore excursions, cruisetours and onboard packages.

St. Louis – September 28, 2026 -- Every time one of six newly signed college football mascots scores this season, Friskies will donate 10,000 meals to shelter cats, with the cat food brand pledging up to 500,000 meals total across the fall.

The brand announced it has signed six mascots from five universities into its "Certified Frisky" campaign: Wilbur and Wilma Wildcat from the University of Arizona, Truman the Tiger from the University of Missouri, Will D. Cat from Villanova University, Cosmo the Cougar from Brigham Young University, and Aubie the Tiger from Auburn University.

Each first score of the game triggers a 10,000-meal donation

Whenever one of the five schools' teams records its first score in a regular-season game -- touchdown, field goal or safety -- Friskies will donate 10,000 meals to Greater Good Charities. The meals go toward feeding shelter cats in the schools' local communities and beyond.

St. Paul, Minn. – September 28, 2026 -- James Beard Award-winning author Hank Shaw has released a fully updated edition of his venison cookbook, Buck, Buck, Moose, ten years and more than 100,000 copies after the original launched.

The 336-page hardcover adds 30 new recipes and modern cooking methods

The reboot brings the total recipe count to 125, alongside roughly 200 color photographs and updated guidance for cooking deer, elk, moose, caribou, pronghorn and other antlered game. Shaw said the book needed to change because venison cooking itself has changed over the past decade, drawing on more hunting, cooking and teaching experience since the first edition.

Louisville – September 28, 2026 -- Angel's Envy will release its Cellar Collection Volume 6, a rye whiskey finished in both peach brandy and toasted oak barrels, nationwide on October 9, 2026, priced at $199.99 per 750 mL bottle.

Master Distiller Owen Martin uses two finishing stages for the first time in the series

The WRX GD25 pairs World Rally Blue paint with rally-inspired hardware

The WRX GD25 comes exclusively in World Rally Blue over gold-painted 19-inch alloy wheels, uprated Brembo brakes with gold calipers, and Bridgestone Potenza S007 tires. A dry carbon fiber swan-neck rear wing from Subaru Tecnica International -- the same part used on Travis Pastrana's WRX ARA25L rally car -- sits at the rear, while a flexible strut tower bar and performance-tuned suspension sharpen handling.
