All Year Long-- Worth Avenue is a place for all seasons.
Long over are the old days of a Palm Beach social season that opened in mid-December and snapped shut the day after Washington's birthday. These days, Palm Beach and Worth Avenue are busy with events all year long, some to benefit local charitable organizations, others as a way to celebrate island living--and Worth Avenue--in general. The Association also teams up with other organizations for major style and fashion-oriented events.
Other signature Avenue events include holiday festivities, a pet fashion show (this is Palm Beach), and many other whimsies and diversions. Look for the Premier Party and launch of Jim Ponce documentry and the Spring Fling Easter Egg Hunt once dates have been determined.
