West Palm Beach GreenMarket

Flock to the downtown waterfront October 4 for the first day of the West Palm Beach GreenMarket. Now in its thirty-first season, the GreenMarket will boast 150 vendors—its most yet—of which 45 are new and 14 are “legacy vendors” that have been with the market for more than 15 years. This season, the market will be open every Saturday through May (except for February 14 and March 28) from 8:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.

Oktoberfest

Don those lederhosen and raise that stein because it’s time for Oktoberfest. The American German Club of the Palm Beaches will present its fifty-first annual Oktoberfest in Lake Worth October 10-12 and 17-19. The festivities will include plenty of German beer and food, traditional dances, live music, and carnival rides.
