May 1, 2026 — As caps fly and tassels turn, graduation parties kick off. Whether you’re honoring a high school or college graduate’s big achievement, Publix can help you focus on the moment — not on the menu.
For whatever party you have in mind, we have crowd-pleasing offerings that make celebrating easy, stress-free and delicious.
Appetizers that kick off the celebration
Start the party with fresh, ready-to-serve options that guests of all ages enjoy. Fruit and veggie platters add a refreshing touch, while pinwheels, and deli meat and cheese platters bring satisfying, protein-packed bites to the table.
Deli favorites grads (and guests) love
Our deli platters are made for sharing. Popular chicken and sandwich platters pair perfectly with signature dipping sauces, making them an easy win for open-house style graduation parties where guests come and go.
Seafood spreads elevate the occasion
Looking to elevate the occasion? Seafood platters offer variety and flair, from sushi selections to shrimp, lobster and crab platters. They’re ideal for celebrating a big milestone in a memorable way.
Sweet finishes worth celebrating
No graduation celebration is complete without dessert. Our bakery options range from custom sheet cakes to decadent desserts and bakery platters — perfect for serving up a sweet congratulations.
