Live music, happy hours, waterfront dining, art, and events — your weekend guide to West Palm Beach, updated weekly.
Browse This Weekend's Events →West Palm Beach has quietly become one of South Florida's most dynamic cities for nightlife, culture, and outdoor recreation. The action radiates out from two main corridors: Clematis Street and Rosemary Square.
Clematis Street runs through the historic downtown core, lined with bars, restaurants, and live music venues that keep the energy going well past midnight. On weekends, the street fills with crowds moving between Propaganda, Respectable Street Café — a legendary punk and alternative club that's been a WPB institution for decades — and newer cocktail lounges drawing a young professional crowd. Thursday through Saturday, live music is nearly guaranteed somewhere along the stretch.
A few blocks south, Rosemary Square anchors the city's more polished side: open-air dining, boutiques, a cinema, and frequent outdoor concerts and festivals on the central lawn. In winter and spring, the square hosts everything from jazz nights to food truck rallies to holiday markets.
Culture seekers gravitate to the Norton Museum of Art, one of the largest art museums in the Southeast, with a stunning permanent collection and blockbuster traveling exhibitions. On the third Friday of each month, Art After Dark transforms the galleries into a social evening with music, food, and late-night access for $10 — one of the best deals in town.
The Kravis Center for the Performing Arts brings world-class theater, ballet, and orchestral programming to the city year-round, with the Palm Beach Opera and visiting Broadway touring shows filling the calendar from November through April.
Saturday mornings, the West Palm Beach Green Market draws thousands to the downtown waterfront for local produce, artisan food, plants, and live music. Running October through April, it's the social event of the weekend for the wellness-minded crowd and a great way to start a Saturday before the afternoon fills out.
The Palm Beach Marina area offers fresh seafood with views across the Intracoastal Waterway, and the surrounding waterfront park is a scenic backdrop for an afternoon walk or early evening drinks.
Spring means baseball. Cacti Park of the Palm Beaches hosts Grapefruit League games for the Washington Nationals and Houston Astros from February through March — affordable tickets, close-up views of major league talent, and a laid-back Florida crowd that makes it one of the best-value live sports experiences in the region. The SoFi Center brings professional pickleball and occasional tennis events to Palm Beach Gardens just north of the city.
For a full night out, Clematis Street delivers variety — rooftop cocktail bars, late-night tapas, dance floors, and dive bars all within walking distance. The Treehouse Rooftop brings Cuban nights, DJ sets, and sweeping views of the city skyline. Weekend nights in downtown WPB stay active until 2am, making it a genuine late-night destination that rivals larger South Florida markets.
