Delray Under $50
Most Fun Small Town, Most Crazy Small Town, Most Small Town that Feels
Like a Big Town. Delray has it all. With a bustling downtown, Pineapple
Grove area, and little nooks and crannies in between, there’s more
to do in Delray now than ever, with events and happenings
spanning from daytime to nighttime. While it can
seem expensive at times, there’s a great
opportunity to enjoy all the City has to offer
without breaking the bank. Here’s what you can
do in Delray Beach in June for $50 or less.
Looking for something to do with dad on Father’s Day weekend?
If he’s into cars, sunshine, and live music, look no further than
the Second Annual Delray Beach Concours d’Elegance! June
is Entrepreneurs “Do It Yourself” Marketing Month and this event,
founded by local Max Zengage, is the best way you can show up,
show support, and give back. The event boasts classic cars, vendors,
and live music, and is a fun opportunity to spend time with dad and
your community members. Held Saturday June 17 from 9 a.m. to 4
p.m. at Old School Square, this free event is a sure-fire way to treat
dad to some good ol’ fashioned quality time. Honestly, what could be
better than a free classic car show in your own backyard? (Well, driving
one home, but that’ll be on you.) You can even treat him to food at
the event, or head to his favorite downtown restaurant for a burger
and a beer. The double feel-good aspect is that the event benefits
five Delray non-profits, including Achievement Center for Children
& Families, Delray Citizens for Delray Police, Delray Fire Benevolent,
Community Classroom Project, and Miracle League of Palm Beach
County. So, mark your calendars and make sure dad is free, because
it’s time to rev those Father’s Day engines. Please visit www.delrayconcours.org
or call (561) 927-8605
Loud and proud!
June is Gay, Lesbian,
Bisexual,
Transgender Pride
Month, which is a
great reminder to
love yourself and
love others. In true
Delray form, the City
is celebrating with an
event and everyone is
invited! Join the City of Delray Beach for the Third Annual Pride
Festival and Concert on June 10, 2023. The free event will start in
Pineapple Grove with live entertainment and vendors and will end
with one of the best Elton John Tribute bands around, ”Rocketman,”
Music starting at 7:30 p.m. at Old School Square. Be sure to also
check out the Pridescape painting of the inclusive flag at the Intersection
of Northeast Second Avenue and Northeast First Street,
in the historic district of Pineapple Grove, which the City of Delray
Beach created in 2021. Not only is this a great way to celebrate the
diversity in our city, but also to show support for your neighbors.
And who doesn’t love jamming out to Elton John tunes in the night
sky? Please visit www.downtowndelraybeach.com or call (561)

While Delray might not have a City zoo and aquarium,
we have the next best thing: The Sandoway
Discovery Center! It’s all the fun of a large animal-focused
destination, but with the hands-on (literally)
and personal touch that is perfect for first-time visitors
and returning guests. June is National Zoo and Aquarium
Month so get yourself over there and have some
fun. The Sandoway Discovery Center offers a glimpse into
South Florida’s fragile marine and freshwater environments
