From the Delray Affair to Garlic Fest: tips for crowds and parking, and where to eat before or after.
Delray Beach has a full calendar of festivals, and the big ones fill downtown. A little planning makes the day easier.
Festivals to know
- The Delray Affair: the city's big spring arts and crafts festival along Atlantic Avenue.
- Delray Beach Garlic Fest: a food festival built around, yes, garlic.
- Holiday season downtown: lights, events and crowds through December.
Dates change every year. Check the official event sites before you plan.
Festival day tips
- Arrive early or use a rideshare; downtown parking fills fast.
- Wear comfortable shoes and bring water and sunscreen.
- Eat before you go or after you leave to skip the longest lines.
