It’s A Beautiful Day in Delray Beach, Florida, Village by The Sea, Palm Beach County…What’s Going On? The 14th Annual Delray Beach Garlic Festival!! Friday, Saturday, Sunday
It has been a gorgeous morning in Delray Beach. Cooler temperatures in the a.m. with rising ones in the p.m. I think it is perfect. Well, wait a minute, I think some of the local residents are cold. I have seen my share of UGG boots these past few days. What? Really, it is true.
The sun rises around 7:02 or so in the morning so I took of for the beach. It was so quiet. Just a few others taking pictures.
I think the beach was ready; chairs out, volleyball nets were up, the beach sports rental opens early.
The sea gull going on a scavenger’s hunt, just like in Rehoboth Beach. Delray Beach reminds me so much of the coastal towns at the Delaware Beaches. I think that’s why I fell in love with it. But I do have to thank Marilyn, my friend’s mother, for pointing it out to me about 10 years ago.
On A1A there was no traffic. Plenty of sidewalk lining the beach for jogging and power walking.
The smell of garlic will be permeating throughout Atlantic Avenue this coming week-end. Get ready because it is the 14th Annual Delray Beach Garlic Festival. The event is dedicated to exploring the many health and culinary possibilities of garlic, which there are many.
Garlic Ice Cream? Or, Garlic Fest Crab Cakes….those will some of the appearances at the festival.
This is also a fundraising event for the non-profit organization, Delray Beach Arts, Inc. It is for the local non-profit organizations serving education and arts for youth. More info? Please visit http://www.dbgarlic.com. Or, you can also call 561-279-0907.
The Garlic Fest will take place on the grounds of the Old School Square, located at 51 N. Swinton Avenue, right at Atlantic Ave.
This is also called the Delray Beach Center for The Arts at Old School Square. The historic preservation of this “campus” is something the Delray residents are proud of.
The Cornell Museum dates to 1913. There are exhibits, concerts, and theater. While you are in Delray, check out the schedule of events by visiting http://www.delraybeachcenterforthearts.org.
At the festival there will be plenty of entertainment at the Old School Square Stage.
