Dear Friends of History, Evening on Antique Row w

Dear Friends of History,

Evening on Antique Row will take place on Saturday, April 1. For over 25 years, this beloved community event has benefitted Palm Beach County's public school students and Antique Row's merchants. The proceeds from Evening on Antique Row go directly to funding educational initiatives for children who would otherwise not receive much-needed education in local history, government, and civics. As in years past, this fantastic event will feature local restaurants, merchants, artists, and musicians. We appreciate your continued support of our important work.

Help us spread our love for Evening on Antique Row 2023. Please share, comment, and like. We look forward to seeing everyone on April 1!

Sincerely,
Board of Governors, Professional Team, Dedicated Volunteers and Children of our Community

Evening on Antique Row is BACK! The Young Friends

Evening on Antique Row is BACK!

The Young Friends of the Historical Society of Palm Beach County will host its signature annual event, Evening on Antique Row, on Saturday, April 1, 2023. For the 28th year, the HSPBC’s distinctively stylish street party will shine the spotlight on the world-famous art and design district of West Palm Beach.

South Dixie Highway will be closed to vehicles from Monroe Drive to Southern Boulevard, allowing visitors to explore unique shops that will stay open late to tempt attendees with 17th- to 20th-century antiques, decorative arts, fine art, and design services.

Evening on Antique Row benefits the education programs of the Historical Society of Palm Beach County, the nonprofit organization that collects, preserves, and shares our countywide history and operates the Richard and Pat Johnson Palm Beach County History Museum in West Palm Beach’s 1916 Historic Court House. Party with a purpose this year with the Historical Society of Palm Beach County!
