📷 Viral Boca
Diplo Just Opened a BBQ Honky-Tonk on Clematis Street
Grammy-winning DJ and South Florida native Diplo is the musical director behind the newly opened West Palm Cowboy Club at 200 Clematis St in downtown WPB. The grand opening party is Thursday, March 26 at 5 PM - think 18-hour smoked brisket, peach-glazed spare ribs, cornbread with caviar, cowhide-lined ceilings, and a wraparound Intracoastal patio. Chef Adrian Ricouz brings Latin-inflected BBQ with Argentinian roots and serious pitmaster credentials. Nashville meets South Florida - and it’s 20 minutes from Boca.
🎯 This Week’s Highlights
Savor the Avenue - 17th Annual Dinner Under the Stars
Tomorrow night, five blocks of East Atlantic Avenue in downtown Delray Beach transform into the Nation’s Longest Dining Table. 13 restaurants - including Elisabetta’s, Rose’s Daughter, City Oyster, Le Colonial, and Lulu’s - each serve a four-course dinner with drink pairings, all under the stars in the middle of the street. Welcome drinks at 5:30, seating at 6:15, dinner through 9 PM. This sells out every year within 24 hours. If you don’t have a reservation, check with restaurants directly - a few seats may still be available. One of the most special dining nights in South Florida.
2nd Annual Boca Street Fest - Free at Mizner Park
Two live music stages, nearly 100 local vendors, a craft beer garden, and the Mayor’s State of the City address - all in one free afternoon at Mizner Park. Bands Havoc 305 and Wolfhawk headline the main stage. Irish Cloggers, Aloha Islanders, and a klezmer band take the community stage. Free parking at City Hall, Downtown Library, and City Lot. This is the one to mark.

Brit Floyd: The Moon, The Wall and Beyond
The world’s greatest Pink Floyd tribute closes out the week at Mizner Park. Full outdoor experience - laser lights, orchestration, every note from The Wall and more. If you’ve been, you know. If you haven’t, this is the one to start with. Great cap to a full Boca Saturday.
