The Village of Wellington will celebrate its 30th anniversary with a large-scale community event on Friday, Jan. 2, inviting residents to come together for an evening of music, family activities, and hometown pride at the Wellington Amphitheater. The celebration runs from 5 to 10 p.m. and is free to the public.

The milestone event commemorates three decades since Wellington’s incorporation and reflects the village’s growth into one of Palm Beach County’s most vibrant and family-focused communities. Organizers say the anniversary celebration is designed to honor both the village’s history and the residents who have shaped its identity.

Guests will find a full slate of attractions throughout the amphitheater grounds, including carnival rides, games, a Ferris wheel, an ice-skating rink, and a variety of food and Lakeside Market vendors. The evening will culminate in a fireworks display over Wellington’s Town Center.
