As we settle into summer, remember we still have opportunities to head outdoors and not absolutely wilt while having some solid fun. This weekend get out on the water with a sunset/moonrise paddle at MacArthur Beach State Park, live music during Sunday on the Waterfront in downtown West Palm Beach, or a screening of the animated flick "Turning Red" in Wellington.
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 55 fun must-try things to do in Palm Beach County.
