Tips From A Local Girl - Fun Things To Do In Palm Beach County This Weekend

Hi everyone,  Very excited for all the happenings in Palm Beach County this weekend.  One of the things I love about Palm Beach County is that there's always something going on.  So, since I'm a Florida Native, I would give you some good ideas and a few tips as well.

This weekend on Nov 5th, 6th and 7th is the Feast of Little Italy in Abacoa in Jupiter, Florida.    One of the best festivals in Palm Beach County, in my opinion, and with the great weather we are expecting this weekend, it will be the perfect time to get outside to enjoy the great food and beverages.

Another thing I LOVE to do on the weekends is the Green Market in downtown West Palm Beach.  It's located on the new Waterfront.  You can get farm-fresh fruits and vegetables, baked breads, pastries, plants and gorgeous flowers.  It's on Saturday morning between 8:00-1:00 AM and it runs from October 16th thru April 23rd.   TIP - Parking is FREE in the Banyan and Evernia parking garages.  No need to spend more than you have to.  Another TIP - DON'T GO EARLY.  You can usually bargain down the items at the end of the market hours due to vendors wanting to get rid of what they have left.  Also, it's pet friendly, so brig the poochie, I do and he loves it.  Trust me, you will not be disappointed if you check this out. 


Also something I'm really excited about this weekend is the FREE 1st Annual Palm Beach Art & Music Festival in Downtown West Palm Beach, Florida on Saturday from 4-11PM, November 6th.  It will have local musicians, entertainers, and artists! This FREE event (no admittance fee) presented by Art Nouveau Events and the Downtown Development Authority will feature a showcase of art, crafts, food and beverage vendors, kids activity center, VIP area, live music & entertainment, fire dancers, and more according to their website. 

With all the great musicians, art and food, you can't go wrong.


















So, get out there and enjoy all the great festivals and markets this weekend and in return support your community and local artists.   Plus with a few of my tips, you can keep a few more dollars in the wallet.
