The premier weekly event is Clematis by Night. This Thursday night concert series features performances by bands playing everything from reggae to modern country rock, depending on the week. In addition to enjoying live music, take advantage of happy-hour food and drink specials at restaurants and bars along Clematis Street. (Please note there will be no Clematis by Night on Thursday, July 5.)Fairy Tale Playhouses New this year to Summer in Paradise are Fairy Tale Playhouses, 15 child-size playhouses representing fairytales from different countries. Let your kids’ imaginations run free as they journey through “The Frog Princess” from Poland and “Jack and the Beanstalk” from the UK, among others. More playhouses can be seen in the Magic Garden, a community green space on the corner of Rosemary Avenue and Evernia Street, and at Palm Beach Outlets. (Want to see them all? Take the trolley, which makes regular stops at each location.) Local artists are decorating the playhouses, which will be revealed during the June 7 Clematis by Night and auctioned off during the July 26 Clematis by Night to support local nonprofits. 4th on Flagler If you’re planning to celebrate America’s birthday, you won’t want to miss this. 4th on Flagler, South Florida’s largest free Independence Day event, dazzles with a fireworks spectacular over the downtown West Palm Beach waterfront—and it’s going to be bigger than ever this year to celebrate its 30th anniversary. Turn your eyes to the sky for an 18-minute fireworks display, and beforehand join in the fun on the ground. Listen to live music, savor delicious foods and cool drinks, play family-friendly games, and honor servicemen and -women during the annual Military Honor Ceremony. 4th on Flagler takes place 5-10 p.m. on July 4.
