to do in Delray now than ever, with events and happenings<br />
spanning from daytime to nighttime. While it can<br />
seem expensive at times, there’s a great<br />
opportunity to enjoy all the City has to offer<br />
without breaking the bank. Here’s what you can<br />
do in Delray Beach in <strong>April</strong> for $50 or less.<br />
DELRAY AFFAIR<br />
It’s back! While the other craft festivals that come into town are a<br />
delight to visit, the Delray Affair is the granddaddy of all festivals<br />
and means some serious business. If you haven’t been or are a<br />
veteran who looks forward to the Affair all year, mark your calendars<br />
and be prepared for art action. <strong>April</strong> is Straw Hat Month and is the<br />
perfect time to grab your hat, sunscreen and walking shoes and head<br />
to <strong>Atlantic</strong> <strong>Ave</strong>nue for 10 blocks of arts and crafts. Nicknamed the<br />
“Greatest Show under the Sun”, the Delray Affair is one of the largest<br />
arts & craft festival in the Southeast United States. This year marks<br />
the 62nd event and boasts more than 500 artists and crafters from<br />
around the nation. Visitors are guaranteed to enjoy an eclectic mixture<br />
of all things arts and crafts, including one-of-a-kind sculptures,<br />
painting, photography, jewelry, and more. Seriously, if you don’t see<br />
it at the Affair, there’s a good chance it doesn’t exist. The Delray Affair<br />
is held Friday, <strong>April</strong> 12 and Saturday, <strong>April</strong> 13 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.,<br />
24 | APRIL <strong>2024</strong> | WWW.ATLANTICAVEMAGAZINE.COM<br />

THIRD ANNUAL DELRAY BEACH CONCOURS D’ELEGANCE<br />
Opportunities are great, but second opportunities are even better.<br />
(So are third, but let’s not get crazy.) <strong>April</strong> is Second Chance<br />
Month and if you’re looking for an event you might have<br />
missed the first time, and an event that helps to give second chances<br />
to community members, as well as giving second chances for otherwise<br />
garage-kept cars, you’re in luck! The Third Annual Delray Beach<br />
Concours D’Elegance invites you to partake in classic cars, community<br />
and charity, and all you have to do is attend and enjoy. Dubbed<br />
“A Garden Party of Automotive Excellence,” the event boasts - and celebrates!<br />
- some of the finest and rarest classic cars in the world. In ad-<br />
