Winter is in full swing and it is glorious! Though it might have been a little chilly recently, we’re mostly talking highs in the 70s, low humidity and maybe, just maybe, the occasional falling iguana. Now watch as artists turn Lake and Lucerne Avenues in downtown Lake Worth Beach into works of art during the Street Painting Festival, learn about sea turtles and rock to live bands at the 21st Annual TurtleFest at Loggerhead Marinelife Center, celebrate the Year of the Horse during Lunar New Year Community Day at the Norton Museum of Art and more.
In addition to the top five events listed there’s always something great happening at places like The Norton Museum of Art or the Maltz Jupiter Theatre. On top of that you could always just enjoy a great meal with an equally great view at one of Palm Beach County’s waterfront restaurants from Jupiter to Boca Raton. Plus, we’ve curated a list of the best things to do all year in the county, and here it is: your bucket list of 60 fun must-try things to do in Palm Beach County.
