Spring is heating up! Meet authors, hear high-caliber jazz performers and spend the evening on Antique Row. There’s more than ever to see and do this March in The Palm Beaches.
MLB Spring Training in The Palm Beaches
See some of baseball’s top teams in action in a relaxed, fan-friendly atmosphere. Spring Training is a favorite of fans—and anyone looking for a fun experience. The players are relaxed, signing autographs and talking to fans, and fans get the chance to see teams learning to play together after a winter break. The action takes place now until March 24.
Cheer on your home team! World Series Champion Houston Astros, the St. Louis Cardinals, the Washington Nationals, Miami Marlins and more descend on The Palm Beaches. Visit FITTEAM Ballpark of The Palm Beaches for a truly intimate sporting experience. The park is home to Houston Astros and the Washington Nationals and is about a quarter the size of MLB’s smallest regular-season stadium, meaning it offers an intimate setting with big-league amenities. Head to the Craft Corner and choose from 32 craft beers on tap and watch your team play ball.
Located in Jupiter, Roger Dean Chevrolet Stadium offers an even more intimate game-day experience. With fewer than 7,000 seats, this stadium is home base for four minor league teams. The stadium hosts the Miami Marlins and the St. Louis Cardinals. Grab one of the famous Dean Dogs– a jumbo hot dog with peppers and onions –and sing “Take Me Out to the Ball Game” during the seventh inning stretch.
Festival of the Arts Boca
The Palm Beaches are Florida’s Cultural Capital® and this festival shows off the area’s best. High-caliber jazz and classical performers and award-winning authors and speakers share their talents. Hear pianist Joachim Horsley blend new arrangements of classical music and afro-Caribbean rhythms, and hear from speakers including United States Poet Laureate Robert Pinsky.
From opening to close, this 10-day festival revels in the talents of top-rated performers, musicians, producers and all things art in true Boca style. Enjoy the arts with us, March 1-10.
Evening on Antique Row
On March 9, the most fashionable street party in South Florida hits West Palm Beach. Antique Row comes to life with music, special entertainment, food and beverages. Bring your treasures to the antique appraisal tent or simply mill about admiring pieces of history.
The Antique Row District is a one-of-a-kind Palm Beach stop. Several blocks are filled with antique wares, small bistros and historic neighborhoods. It’s the kind of place where you’re bound to stumble upon a gem.
St. Patrick’s Day Parade and Festival
Get out your green outfit—it’s that time of year when we all become Irish for a day. Even if you don’t have a pot of gold, you can celebrate the culture and history of Ireland right in The Palm Beaches. March 15 and 16 on Atlantic Avenue in Delray Beach, enjoy food, beer, cocktails, live music, entertainment, games, vendors and a kids’ area. Admission is free for both the parade pre-party on March 15 and the festival and parade on March 16. Feel lucky and celebrate!

Wellington Bacon & Bourbon Festival
