This week
🎷 Jazz for Jade @ Tim Finnegans | Tuesday (8/12) at 6:00pm – Sip on half-off bottles of wine while soaking in the smooth, effortless jazz of Chris Valente and Shane Keys. From velvety guitar lines to soulful keys and vocals, this duo blends skill and heart into every note. It’s the perfect midweek vibe boost—rich pours, rich tunes, zero regrets.
🎨 4-Day Wheel Throwing Workshop for Beginners & Experienced Potters @ Arts Warehouse | Wednesday (8/13) at 11:30am – Swap your screen time for clay time with a four-week, semi-private wheel-throwing workshop where it’s just you, one other student, and a seasoned instructor making magic on the potter’s wheel. Expect equal parts wedging, centering, bad jokes, then bowls you’ll actually want to display.
🎶 Flo-Raw @ Tin Roof | Thursday (8/14) at 8:00pm – Tired of the same old covers at our local bars? A family-fueled Asian American band is turning genre mashups into an art form, think pop, funk, soul, country, rap, and more, earning them “Tampa Bay’s Favorite Upcoming Band” buzz at Tin Roof Delray.
🎉 JP’s Jam @ The Hub at Space of Mind | Friday (8/15) at 7:00pm – Third Friday in August around here means JP’s Jam. Chef-inspired bar bites join pickle backs for culinary courage, local art keeps you nodding in appreciation, and funky beats make us all think we should’ve picked up an instrument. All for aspiring chefs’ scholarships.
🐉 Candlelight: Rings and Dragons @ Saint Mark Greek Orthodox Church | Friday (8/15) at 8:00pm – Craving epic tunes without wrestling your teenager’s playlist? Slip into a candlelit Greek church, and let a polished string quartet whisk you through Rings and Dragons themes, with all the drama of Westeros and Middle-earth, minus the dragons or the dinner party small talk.
This weekend
🖌️ Abstract Painting Intensive @ Arts Warehouse | Saturday (8/16) at 10:00am – Whether you’ve mastered fridge magnets or you’re overdue for a real art fix, spend six hours in a sunlit studio cranking your abstract game onto a 24×36 canvas. Ditch dusty lectures for quick-fire demos, glazes, gels, and fearless color blocking.
🦩 Flamingo Flea @ Crazy Uncle Mikes | Saturday (8/16) at 12:00pm – Because scrolling through Etsy at 2 a.m. just doesn’t count as retail therapy, hit up Flamingo Flea at Crazy Uncle Mikes instead. Over 30 crafty vendors, a Disney-inspired Pixie Dust Alley, craft beer, scratch kitchen brunch, and live tunes await, kids and dogs included.
🎸 Gimme Springsteen: The Ultimate Tribute to Bruce Springsteen @ Boca Black Box Center for the Arts | Saturday (8/16) at 7:00pm – Dust off your leather jacket and pretend you’re back in Jersey as this Atlanta crew channels The Boss with Born in the USA, Thunder Road, and a few buried gems. No East Coast attitude required, just plenty of raw passion and grit.
💔 Heart Shaped Box: Nirvana Tribute @ Arts Garage | Saturday (8/16) at 8:00pm – Heart Shaped Box rips through flannel, feedback, and loud-as-hell riffs with unapologetic abandon in that sticky floored dive you know too well, dragging you back to grunge’s golden days. No frills, just sweat, distortion, and enough angst to make Kurt proud.
🕹️ Open Pinball Tournament @ Silverball Pinball Museum | Sunday (8/17) at 12:00pm – If you’ve been itching for some old-school thrills, swing by the monthly open pinball tournament, where fifteen bucks gets you an all-day pass and ten more buys tournament entry. No age limits, just flipper-wielding fun, sarcastic commentary, and relentless high-score envy.

🏠️ This house is wild
Listed by: Nicholas Paul Malinosky (Douglas Elliman)
A Marc Michaels-designed showpiece with seven bedrooms, this Delray Beach estate takes oceanfront living to a new level. Think custom plasterwork, soaring ceilings, and walls of glass framing the Atlantic, plus a chef’s kitchen with double islands and a secret prep kitchen for midnight snacks. The ground-floor primary suite is a private wing with a marble fireplace and spa-worthy baths, while the upstairs VIP suite gets its own terrace, wet bar, and fireplace for extra bragging rights.
Out back, a resort-style pool, covered loggia, and private beach path make every day feel like vacation. Four-car garage, full smart-home system, and lush landscape lighting mean the party never has to stop. All just minutes from Atlantic Avenue, but with enough privacy to keep the world at arm’s length.
