Founded in 1982, SunFest is Florida’s largest waterfront music and art festival. The festival is held in Downtown West Palm Beach, attracting more than 100,000 visitors annually. Its strong reputation is due to the noteworthy artists it has featured in the past, and 2023 will be no exception! This year, the event runs from May 5 to May 7.

SunFest in West Palm Beach is a festival for everyone.  Its inclusivity makes it a great place to spend the weekend with the entire family while listening to great music, strolling around the waterfront, checking out food vendors and relaxing in the outdoors.

Culture takes centre stage at Festival of the Arts BOCA, held each March at Mizner Park in downtown Boca Raton. Attend readings by Pulitzer Prize-winning authors, see performances by actors like Bill Murray and hear your favorite movie scores performed by a live orchestra—perhaps with a special appearance by classical legends like Itzhak Perlman or Yo-Yo Ma.

Fans of the Bard, get thee to Carlin Park in Jupiter for Shakespeare by the Sea, a summer tradition for nearly 30 years. Bring a blanket, a beach chair and a picnic—or come hungry for mouth-watering food trucks—and sit back for performances of classic plays like Antony & Cleopatra and A Midsummer Night’s Dream.

There are plenty of other music and stage events on our calendar, too. See what Broadway shows or big-name concerts are on the schedule at the Kravis Center in West Palm Beach, enjoy a month of art, culture and ideas in May during MOSAIC and browse the schedule for free outdoor concerts throughout the summer.

And before you book, check for special offers and packages at many of our top hotels.
