Yes, winter is still here, but not for much longer. Time is running out. Soon it will be spring and then, I know, don't say it — summer. Here are five ways to get out and enjoy this last gasp of not-summer. Additionally, this weekend has the distinction of priming us for St. Patrick's Day, so we'll top this regular list with a nod to those events.

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.

St. Patrick's Day in Palm Beach County 2025
