What to do and see in West Palm Beach, Florida (FL): The Best Concerts & Shows

May 15, 2022 Marissa Gamble

With sunny skies, nearly perfect year-round weather and a range of outdoor and cultural attractions, West Palm Beach presents the ideal setting for a weekend escape. Enjoy a game of golf at a number of pristine local courses or hit the beach for a day of tanning and catching up on your reading. See African chimps and endangered species like the Southern White rhinoceros wander free in a natural habitat at the Lion Country Safari. You could spend an entire day on Peanut Island, a popular tourist attraction that houses a bunker built for President John F. Kennedy during the Cold War. The island includes the bunker, a museum and plenty of picnic areas, plus biking and walking paths. The ferry ride to the island cruises past the opulent mansions of the city's wealthy residents. For those who prefer indoor endeavors, the Norton Museum boasts an exceptional collection of American, Chinese and European art. Famous performers appear at "The Harriet" and at the Kravis Center. Of course there's always shopping, the city's other favorite pastime. From designer boutiques to big name department stores, West Palm has it all.

Palm Beach Dramaworks presents new and unconventional small plays in a wonderful small theater. The seats are comfortable with universally good sight lines. Small enough that actors do not need microphones, the theater could still benefit from a hearing loop system for those with hearing challenges. This was the second production for us. We liked the last one, this one not so much. Although we are totally in sync with the political viewpoints of the playwright of “Ordinary Americans,” we thought it was a weak, often tedious play. Nonetheless, we will gladly return. Art of all kinds challenges, pushes boundaries, and takes risks. Palm Beach Dramaworks does all of that well.

The Dinner Detective

The Dinner Detective Murder Mystery Dinner Show is very different from traditional murder mystery dinner shows. We will hide non-costumed actors in the audience that are pretending to be part of the crowd. This results in a much more social and interactive evening than with other shows. Our shows are set during the present day and take place in real time. Over the course of the night, our cost
