The Norton Museum of Art anchors the week with a milestone benefit and a rare Sunday dinner tied to its Rembrandt exhibition, while Jupiter leans into Regency‑era whimsy with a Bridgerton‑inspired brunch worth dressing up for.
Palm Beach Gardens adds a new hands‑on night‑out option, Delray Beach prepares to stretch its famously long dining table and March Bagel Madness keeps readers voting weekly.
Consider this your guide to what’s worth booking, tasting and clicking before seats and bragging rights are gone.
