Winter has arrived and it is glorious! No we’re not talking sleigh rides and snow angels, we’re talking highs in the 70s, low humidity and just enough chill at night that those bonfires and chimineas are wonderful. Now get outside and take advantage with the end of the year Art After Dark at the Norton Museum of Art, a yoga class at Hilton West Palm Beach, learn about prescribed burns and drink some wine at Busch Wildlife Sanctuary 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.
