Summer is almost here, but don’t panic just yet. Like Quint sliding down the back of the boat in the movie “Jaws,” we’re just sliding, we’re not in the shark’s mouth yet, we’ve still got a few more non-sauna-like days left. Now get out and enjoy the Ocean of Notes Concert and Art Exhibit in Riviera Beach, a Canoe Cruise at Grassy Waters Preserve, Rock The Marina in Boynton Beach 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.
