Summer officially arrives this weekend, but that’s no reason to hide inside. Arm yourselves with hats, loose-fitting clothing, cold beverages, frozen treats or whatever and meet the oppressive forces of heat and humidity head on. Like Rohan’s cavalry charging down Pelennor Fields and breaking the lines of the enemy, get out and find your adventure this weekend. Get in shape with Sculpt & Sweat at Hilton West Palm Beach, check out the Norton Museum of Art’s Art After Dark featuring the band Fourchestra, see the musical “Cats” 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.
