Happy Friday,



It's an amazing time for downtown West Palm Beach! The BEN just opened, Clematis Street is busy, there are events every day EVERYWHERE (I tried to keep this short, but it just goes on and on).



The 500 block of Clematis street is now is closed to vehicular traffic over the weekend and is turned into the hottest party in West Palm Beach. It is a fantastic experience, and this week it gets even better - scroll down for more!



This week we have a new sponsor - Canopy Hotel - which is opening next month at 704 S. Dixie Highway, the hotel promises a "a bright and fun new hotel in the heart of energetic West Palm Beach." - can't wait!



Tonight the seesaws will debut on the 500 blk



The 500 block is the most happening thing on the weekend in West Palm Beach. The street is closed, people are eating, drinking, listening to live music and enjoying the vendors.



Oh yes, and there's ping pong (and connect 4 & Chess).



Starting today through March 29th there will be huge seesaws!

Make sure you save the date for what will be the most epic of St. Patrick's Day block parties on March 17th

Palm Beach Show is here!

Upcoming Events



These events are all contingent on the weather, please call ahead before making plans.



TONIGHT: Screen On The Green featuring The Lion King

This live-action remake of the Disney classic is fun for the whole family. Simba idolizes his father, King Mufasa, and he takes to heart his own royal destiny on the plains of Africa. But not everyone in the kingdom celebrates the new cub's arrival. Scar, Mufasa's brother - and former heir to the throne - has plans of his own. The battle for Pride Rock is soon ravaged with betrayal, tragedy and drama, ultimately resulting in Simba's exile. With help from a curious pair of newfound friends, Simba must figure out how to grow up and take back what is rightfully his.Outdoor movie watching has never been more inviting than on the West Palm Beach Waterfront on our brand-new giant LED screen. Monthly, on the second Friday of the month, the City of West Palm Beach turns the Great Lawn into an open-air theater – movie and included views of the stars and sea are both FREE. Guests are encouraged to bring a blanket or chair and snuggle up for featured films – including newly released hits and throwback favorites. After hours, please call 561-822-2222 for information on event cancellations.

Sunday at the Waterfront, Tas Cru & His Band of Tortured Souls (Blues)



Currie Park

2400 N Flagler Dr

West Palm Beach, Florida 33407



For TAS CRU, after years of performing he found this special place in 2104 with "You Keep The Money", which ended the year at #3 between Buddy Guy & Shemeka Copeland. It was followed by 2016's Blues Music Award Nominated "Simmered & Stewed" and continues with 2018's critically acclaimed "Memphis Song".



Tas Cru is based out of upstate New York and performs in multiple formats ranging from solo acoustic to a 7 piece-backing band. He sings and plays a wide variety of guitars - at home on either electric, acoustic, resonator or cigar box. Tas is a Delaney Guitars (Austin TX) endorsed artist.



It’s not for nothing that Cru has received wide praise for his songwriting. As Downbeat magazine noted, "His songs are blues poetry - crafted with rare verbal flair and his ability to cast a memorable hook is magical!" Live, these songs are performed with power and passion as observed by Living Blues magazine, "The vivacity and sheer joy with which Cru plays is intoxicating!"



This FREE family-friendly concert series is held year round on the 3rd Sunday of each month, and features a variety of national and regional recording artists. Located along the picturesque Flagler Drive waterfront on the Waterfront Commons. Call 561-822-1515 for more information.
