The Cultural Council for Palm Beach County’s Summer Performing Arts Series is back and live for the first time since 2019. During July and August the council has a lineup of local artists ready for many nights of dance and music at its Lake Worth Beach Main Gallery.
“We’re ecstatic to invite locals” to the first live concert series in three years, Cultural Council President and CEO Dave Lawrence said. “Reflecting our mission to nurture the arts locally, the series will feature a fantastic lineup of local artists. This is a wonderful chance to support Palm Beach County’s cultural community and enjoy exhilarating summer evening performances at a unique historic space.”
