    Sunfest is an annual Palm Beach water front music and art festival during the first week in May that has been held since 1982. It attracts more than 275,000 people over a 4 day period. There are 3 stages of musical entertainment from a diverse range of artists, an art district, Captain Morgan floating party barge, food, drinks, and a closing fireworks show on Sunday night. There are several area city garages you can park at costing $20 the day of the event. You can save a little money by purchasing parking online before the event. A one day ticket for the weekend was $60. You could save money by purchasing it early or purchasing a multi day pass. Before attending you want to check the list online of what they allow you to bring in. You can download the Sunfest app to stay on top of things. We chose to come to the Sunday event. The day started out nicely when we caught Bebe Rexha's set followed by lunch at a restaurant within walking distance of the venue. Things went downhill when we wanted to see Keith Urban at 7:30 but then it started to rain. There was no coverage anywhere except underneath the overhang over the port a potties. We were pressed against them getting hit by the doors. Meanwhile the field turned into a mud pit. Keith Urban's plane was diverted to Miami causing an hour and a half delay. By the time Keith took the stage I was miserably soaking wet and covered head to toe in mud and people's spilled beer. The smell was horrific. To top it off the nasty port a potties were out of toilet paper. When the sun went down they were pitch black inside so you couldn't see anything which was probably for the best. It finally stopped raining and we went to move closer to the stage only to find the area blocked off and you had to pay more money to be up front. Fortunately during my favorite Keith Urban song The Fighter he came out into the crowd and popped up pretty close to us where he performed for a little while. After the concert there was a very nice fireworks show to cap off the night. My enjoyment of the venue was severely hampered by the rain which was not their fault. Not having toilet paper and maintaining the port a potties however was under their control and they neglected their duty. I would not buy a ticket here if I knew it was going to rain. Since this is Florida the likelihood of rain is always high. I wouldn't plan on returning here unless this was the only place I could see one of my favorite bands play. There are only a a few groups I would go through this for again so the chances of my ever returning to Sunfest is very slim. If you should find yourself at Sunset make sure to come prepared.

    The atmosphere at the SunFest is great. There are many food vendors with plenty of delicious food. They have a cove bar for after the festival which is near.

    Do you think it's ok to allow a 16 year old to attend sunfest with friends? This is a responsible group of kids, but girls and alone nonetheless.

Held in either the Expo West or Expo East -- or both as they connect --depending on how many folks sign up to exhibit/sell. Vendors tend to be a mix of antique dealers, homeowners, store/former store owners, and people who do the flea market circuit on a regular basis. There are all sorts of items sold here from furniture to clothes to housewares -- some new -- including crafts -- and a lot used or vintage. You never know what you'll find. This past weekend there were even folks selling Christmas ornaments, fine china dining sets, musical instruments, and large ceramic statues. Held on a Saturday, gates open to the early bird public buyers at 7 am for $7 and at 8 am for regular hours for $6 which means until 2 pm. Vendors must keep their booths open until 2 pm. Parking is ample and the Expo is easily accessed in the fairgrounds just off Southern Boulevard. If you like a bargain or just to browse, put on your comfortable shoes and spend a fun day. PS Bring cash as most vendors prefer to take this method of payment. There is an ATM machine on site by the concession stand. Food at the concession stand is a bit expensive. Some of the dedicated visitors come for a bit; Get a new ticket to reenter and go out for lunch and come back. There are restrooms near the concession stand, as well.

The Lester's also founded Art Miami, Art Asia Hong Kong, American International Fine Art Fair and Art Boca Raton. The show was acquired by the Palm Beach Show Group in 2022 who also puts on the LA Art Show. Art Palm Beach is the largest and longest mid winter art fair in the Palm Beaches. This art show is dedicated to exhibiting the contemporary, emerging and modern masterworks of 20th and 21st century art. Seventy-six national and International galleries showcased their work for sale. There were also several art museums presenting at the show including the Boca Raton Museum of Art, MOCCA (Museum of Contemporary Art of the Americas), and the Danubiana Museum of Art in Bratislava, Slovakia. Art mediums included photography, painting, design, fine art glass, metal, gems, sculpture, and video. Displayed in front of the convention center was Ominka by artist Viktor Freso. The large, inflated bear was covered in blue brooch's inspired by a sentimental costume brooch purchased by artist Viktor Freso's grandmother in 1964 in the United States when she was pursuing a singing career and then taken back to Slovakia. Another stand out art piece was Project Eternal Light from the Reflectspace Gallery displayed in its own area as soon as you walked in to the event. Artist Han Ho's nine lighted panels depicts an apocalyptic end of the world for humanity and was inspired by Michelangelo's Last Supper. A featured exhibition was Big Birk, a 19 foot high, 16 foot long Birkin Bag. It is billed as the world's largest Hermes, Birkin Bag. One of my favorite pieces was the interactive Breakfast by Sydney Warming Sea. Software, a camera, and a computer flips foil on discs into your image when you stand in front of it. There was so much other eye catching art. I especially enjoyed anything featuring animals, light, or kinetic movement. Tickets to this show were $35 but if you follow the galleries on Instagram before the show, some of them give out free tickets. If you pay extra for the VIP tickets there was a private lounge in the center of the convention floor. There was also a Friday night gala for an additional price. During the show there was food and drinks for sale. Parking was offered in the convention center garage for $5 for two hours. Allow a few hours to see everything. There was ample seating on the convention floor in between galleries. This was my first time attending this event and I loved everything about it.

We were lucky enough to be invited as guests of our friends who it seems have gone for years. We met them at the convention center (there's easy parking in the attached garage or you can valet park). Some 85 international galleries had exhibits of all mediums of art. It was like going to a very upscale museum. There was no set traffic pattern here. You could wander in and out of the exhibits as you wished. You could spend as much time as you wanted admiring what you liked. Many items had prices on them. Some were priced "on request". In the middle of the exhibit was a coffee shop/snack bar where you could sit and rest and have a bite. I especially liked some of the kinetic sculptures, the Chihuly glass, and the big "moon" installation. Our friends were drawn to some of the paintings. Such creativity using various methods and mediums -- like an eagle that was made of buttons strung on filament. Or the heart shaped sculpture made out of paint and paint brushes. A number of palm beachers were here to see and be seen. Their outfits were equally as attractive and interesting as the artwork. If you like art, even if you're not in the high rollers league to be a buyer, come here at least to browse. It's a great show!

    Craft beer & bites, two of my favorite things! So when I won a pair of passes to this festival…read morethrough the Yelp West Palm Beach Instagram contest, I was ecstatic! I invited my bestie and set off to this adventure, we took the Tri-Rail north to West Palm Beach and we were ready to have a good time! Upon check in we received two drink tickets and four taster tickets each (was plenty). The event was a the Meyers Amphitheatre which has a stage for performance and a big field. We noticed it was quite empty for this big space. We walked around and checked out the vendors and had some bites before we consumed the drinks. I must say the food vendors were delicious here is my list of food vendors I tried: Nancy's Cajun Cooking: Jambalaya $8 - We had one of the best Jambalaya's I've ever had. There was hot sauce to add but it didn't need any. Had plenty of chunks of seafood, meat & chicken. Aioli: Candied Bacon $3 x 2 slices - It was instant gratification on the first bite. My face said it all and the girl behind the counter said "I told you it was good". Indeed it was! Sxs: had fresh oysters. I didn't buy anything here but Alex made me try an oyster that tasted like it had just been plucked out the sea. So fresh, so good. I will make it a point to go visit their restaurant. Mad Hops: a vendor that sales drops to add to bad beer. Yes you read correctly... they have flavored drops to add for example a Miller lite. They have many flavors including cherry, blueberry, hops etc. Great idea but I rather never ever buy bad beer. There was a beer tent where you can sample different beers, most I knew (Funky Budha), some I haven't tried before (Five & 20). They were poured into 4 oz tasting cups. What I did not like is that the bartenders did not know what they were pouring, they knew nothing about the products. I saw many festival goers ask about the types of beers and recommendations and heard the girls say they didn't know anything about the beers, they were just serving them. In my opinion I think this is crucial to have bartenders know what they are serving, it is a beer festival and you should know a little bit about it. There was also another tent serving drinks in a plastic mason jar for $14 and refills were $12. Those drinks were good and strong. The bands that were playing were mostly Alternative Rock, I felt bad because the crowd just wasn't there. No one was jamming by the stage everyone was mostly walking around, eating and drinking. Also they were playing radio commercials in between bands, that was quite annoying. The highlights were meeting fellow Elite Raymond K. and his wife. They were awesome. Raymond hooked it up with some grub from the VIP tent sponsored by 3 Forks. I have to say their food was amazing. I had the Lobster Mac & Cheese and the Filet Mignon with Bearneise sauce on the side, oh so delicious! There was also a tattoo competition that was pretty funny to see. Proceeds of this event went to Friends of Foster Children, that was sweet. Overall, I had a great time but I think this festival needs some work. Entry should include a drink or a taster. I think it was a little expensive considering the beers were mostly known beers and not that exclusive for it to be a Craft Beer festival. I think with less expensive tickets or a better package there will be more attendees. Also having the bartenders learn more about the beer that they are serving is a plus. Would love to come back next year and see if there are changes to the fest. Thank you for the tickets Yelp West Palm Beach!

It takes place at the Meyer Amphitheater in downtown West Palm Beach.

When I went on opening night, I was surprised to see that it wasn't busy. On the other hand, it was nice not having to wait in line to get drinks or food. There was a variety of spirits and cocktails that were generously poured by each bartender. The food options weren't too shabby either. The three cheese grilled cheese and candied bacon from Aioli is a must if you go there. Plus, there was a local band playing music for all to enjoy while sipping and eating. The weather was perfect. It wasn't too chilly or too warm for the festival. It was nice having to be outside without having to wear a sweater to warm up on. The food and beverages were plentiful and good. The staff was upbeat and happy to serve whatever we wanted. Thank you Yelp West Palm for the awesome opportunity and all of the tickets that came with it. Cheers!

Across the street by the boats and water are a few small sand sculptures, too. Another cool thing is to get some of the official 3D glasses. It makes the colors of the star on top of Sandi appear to multiply and the lawn area in front of the tree looks like it is filled with outlines of Christmas trees. Families with kids were especially enjoying playing in the area, running through the fountain, and posting fun photos as gingerbread men.

That's not even talking about the foods that are available for dining on site. This festival had one garlic farmer with fresh garlic, one with farm made garlic powder/granules/chips and black garlic, and 'Garlic Festival Foods' factory made jarred marinated garlic. The parking was a nightmare. The premium parking was full and there was no one to help guide people to parking. There were warnings that if you park in the wrong lot you'll be towed, but no clear signage where one lot ends and the danger zone begins. We kept circling and circling, and were about to leave despite prepaying for tickets, until after about 20 minutes we eventually found someone to follow back to their car and get their space when they left. The vendors were all frustrated because the wifi and cellular connections were so bad that they couldn't do card processing and they couldn't find anyone in charge to talk to about it. Many of the vendors we talked to said they won't be coming back (especially the two that were actually selling garlic). The food wasn't very garlicky. Just standard fair with extra garlic powder.

It looked like a checker board, for social distancing. A great idea. I tried the garlic gelato. It tasted to me like vanilla ice cream with a little hint of vanilla. It was good. I had a good time. I came early so it wasn't very crowded. But it got crowded later on. They had many different venders and artist. The sculptures and art work where beautiful. I specially like the carvings.

The Kinetic Biennial takes place in the historic 1927 Arts and Cultural Center, around the building, on the lawn in front of City Hall and along the streets of Boynton Beach. The Biennial seeks to show how art and technology are connected with art installations that move. The Kinetic Biennial has art installations, artist and designer talks, student displays, turbine demonstrations, light projections, and choreographed motion performances with community volunteers. Live music, food trucks, artist booths, and other activities are also part of the event. I loved all of the fascinating art especially the Sisyphus table, a fine layer of sand with a two motor robot called the Sisbot that controls a metal ball along a preprogrammed track through sand that creates a beautiful pattern. I also enjoyed the Twirling Blooms, a candy colored installation of metal flowers spun by the wind in front of the Cultural Arts Center. One of my favorite installations was called Move Fast and Break Things. It's a kinetic rock throw. They made you sign a release before you could throw the rocks. It was very therapeutic watching them dent the sheet metal wall.
