The county’s reputation as Florida’s Cultural Capital clearly is well deserved. From world-class museums, theaters and performing arts centers to fascinating historical sites, exceptional works by visual and performing artists and a mélange of multicultural festivals and celebrations, the county offers a never-ending supply of cultural options.

Among the best-attended cultural events are SunFest in May and the South Florida Fair in January. Some of the most popular venues for visitors are the Raymond F. Kravis Center for the Performing Arts, the Norton Museum of Art, the South Florida Science Museum and Palm Beach Zoo at Dreher Park in West Palm Beach; Whitehall (the Henry Morrison Flagler Museum) and the Society of the Four Arts, both in Palm Beach; and the Morikami Museum and Japanese Gardens in Delray Beach.

Visitors to other corners of the county also will discover why "Culture Has Found its Place in the Sun." Choices include the Boca Raton Museum of Art and the new de Hoernle Amphitheater at the Centre for Arts in Mizner Park, Boca's Caldwell Theatre Company, Florida Stage in Manalapan and Old School Square, Florida's finest example of historic renovation for cultural use, in downtown Delray Beach. Like Delray, downtown Lake Worth has witnessed a renaissance in its historic buildings. Among them are the studios of Klein Dance, the nationally recognized contemporary dance company, and Palm Beach Institute of Contemporary Art, where cutting-edge video and visual art has attracted attention all the way to New York.

Also tucked into Palm Beach County's "2,386 Square Miles of Arts & Entertainment" are the Cuillo Centre for the Arts in downtown West Palm Beach, Palm Beach's grand old Royal Poinciana Playhouse, the American Orchid Society's new world headquarters next to the Morikami in suburban Delray Beach, the renowned Palm Beach Photographic Centre in Delray's downtown, the Armory Art Center in West Palm Beach and the Loxahatchee River Historical Society, with its historic Jupiter Lighthouse, in northern Palm Beach County.

Palm Beach County's coming cultural attractions include a reinvigorated Jupiter Theatre, where native son Burt Reynolds acted and directed for 20 years; a new campus for the South Florida Science Museum; and completion of Palm Beach Zoo's build-out as Florida's finest example of Asian, African and indigenous Florida flora and fauna.
