Edition #3.2025

🌴 This week (Jan. 15 - Jan. 21) in Palm Beach & West Palm Beach

January 15, 2025 • Estimated Reading Time: 8 minutes

Hey Neighbor!

On this week, 48 years ago, Palm Beach and West Palm Beach experienced its first—and only—snowfall. ❄️ That day, January 19, 1977, left locals stunned as snowflakes fell across the area. While we won’t be seeing snow this week, the "cooler" season is here—and it's the perfect time to visit Manatee Lagoon!

Manatees love the warm waters during the winter months, so find a cooler time—possibly, Monday morning for MLK Day, if you get time off for the federal holiday—and head over for a chance to see these gentle giants. Pro tip: Scope out the manatee live feeds before you go. 🎦

In This Edition:

🎡 One of Florida’s oldest and largest community events
🎵 Loud and silent music
🥇 WPB is #1
