Looking for fun things to do this weekend June 6-8? Top 5 events in Palm Beach County
So technically summer doesn't start until June 20, but who are we kidding, it's here. That said, we're Floridians and we're not about to let a little heat and humidity stand in our way. No, in fact we'll meet it head on with frozen beverages and maybe even frozen treats while enjoying live music by the bands Abstract Citizen at the Norton Museum of Art or East Harbor at 1st Friday@Five at Centennial Park in Boynton Beach, or you could opt to dress up like a pirate and play croquet at the National Croquet Center 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.
