February Happenings in Delray Beach

in

After the holidays, our high season is in full swing and continues during the month of February in Delray Beach.

We all continue to explore the weekly Green Market every Saturday 9:00-2:00 at Old School Square, and here are a few other events residents, snowbirds and visitors can enjoy this month:

Laugh with The Library

Friday, February 2nd, 7:30-10:30PM

Now in it’s 12th year, this event takes place at The Delray Beach Marriott Hotel. Gather your friends together and purchase a table for 10 or grab individual tickets.  Enjoy this year’s headliner, Comedian Don Gavin, who will be hosting a “laugh-out-loud night of comedy.” Proceeds from this cocktail party and evening of lively entertainment will benefit the Delray Beach Public Library’s outreach programs.

Artists in the Park

Weekend of February 3rd-4th, 10-4:30 PM.

This fantastic arts event is hosted by The Delray Art League in Veterans Park along the Intracoastal water way off Atlantic Ave.  Enjoy art in a lovely outdoor setting where you can visit with master artists and their pieces – paintings, prints, sculptures, and other mixed media.

The Delray Beach Open

February 16th-25th

The highlight of the month is certainly The Delray Beach Tennis Open at The Delray Beach Tennis Center. This exciting tennis event attracts 55,000 spectators annually and is touted as the world’s only 10-day ATP Champions Tour and ATP World Tour event.  The Open consists of tough tennis competitions/matches between the top athletes on the circuit today. It also brings back the legends. There are also multiple dining and networking events that take place in the on-site Hospitality Pavilion (ie VIP Reception, Box Series Holders’ Reception, Chamber Bash, Ladies Luncheons). Tennis enthusiasts can also take advantage of unique and competitive amateur tennis opportunities held on the grounds of the event (ie Legends Clinic, ATP Doubles Pro-Am, Tennis on Campus Collegiate Challenge, Mega-Mixer, College Matches, USPTA Fast 4 Event & Woman’s Round-Robin).

In addition to this sampling of February fun, you can enjoy ongoing events aplenty.  Look for music, shows, art at Old School Square, the Arts Garage, The Arts Warehouse, The Delray Beach Playhouse or Morikami Park.  There is always plenty to do for everyone in Delray Beach, our Village by the Sea.

Delray Beach Open Tennis Tournament

Tennis, Anyone?

South Florida is well-known for its hundreds of beautiful, well-manicured and affordable golf courses – from the Gulf Coast to the Atlantic Ocean.

But playing golf is far from the only recreation in the Palm Beaches. Did you know that Delray Beach boasts one the country’s premiere tennis facilities?

The Delray Beach Tennis Center is on world-famous Atlantic Avenue, just east of I-95, and mere blocks from dozens of chic restaurants and bars. It offers:

  • 14 clay courts
  • 6 hard courts
  • an 8,200-seat stadium for center court.
  • a full-service pro shop
  • well-appointed locker rooms

 

Delray Beach Open Tennis Tournament

Every February, The Delray Beach Tennis Center hosts the 10-day Delray Beach Open, featuring the ATP World Tour stars.

Touted as the world’s only ATP Champion tour, this takes place mid-month.  Here, you can mix and mingle with tennis legends at various private events, special clinics, kids day, and – of course – the matches.

(Each November, the Tennis Center is also home to the Chris Evert/Raymond James Pro-Celebrity Tennis Classic!)

 

Affordable Court Fees and Memberships at Two Centers

The Tennis Center’s sister property, the nearby Delray Beach Swim & Tennis Club, offers an additional 14 hard courts. Court fees and annual membership rates are very affordable here. Both tennis centers are located within many desirable neighborhoods in East Delray Beach, convenient to both the Palm Beach International and Fort Lauderdale International Airports.

 

We have helped many families who lob and volley as their favorite sport relocate to this area.
So in asking just one more question why not find a home — or a second home– in this area, we ask, “Tennis Anyone?”
