What’s Going On?, Delray Beach, Florida, Activities, Events, Palm Beach County
As I see the temperatures dip into the low 20s I wonder what’s going on in that Village by the Sea on this Holiday Week-End. You can do as much or as little as you want. If you are visiting Delray Beach the following is on the schedule.
Out & about in Delray? Pick up the edition of the new local newspaper, The Pineapple. It is a free, monthly publication informing visitors and residents what’s going on in The Village by the Sea. The Pineapple is the perfect name; besides being a crop so long ago grown in town, it is also a symbol of hospitality.
