A Thriller Night

Thursday night is the new Friday night. Well, maybe it's not so new. For more than a decade, the weekend has begun a day early in downtown West Palm Beach. And if you've missed the Thursday-night parties of the past, you will not want to miss the 18th birthday party...

Thursday night is the new Friday night. Well, maybe it's not so new. For more than a decade, the weekend has begun a day early in downtown West Palm Beach. And if you've missed the Thursday-night parties of the past, you will not want to miss the 18th birthday party celebration of Clematis by Night. Enjoy this fun, family-friendly event on the waterfront and take a trip back to the '80s with the Michael Jackson tribute band Man in the Mirror. Meet under the giant moon balloon sculpture and learn how to moonwalk just like the King of Pop. Enjoy food and beer from local vendors. And children won't want to miss the games and face-painting. Join this free party on Thursday from 6 to 11:55 p.m. in Centennial Square at 401 Clematis St. in West Palm Beach. Call 561-630-7739, or visit or wpb.org/events.
