Delray’s 100-Foot Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony and On the Avenue Holiday Event: Downtown Delray Beach is turning into a veritable winter wonderland (minus the snow, of course) on Thursday, December 4. In addition to fancy boats and cars, Santa is dropping in via helicopter for the tree lighting in Old School Square. To show off its holiday spirit, the city is attempting to beat the world record for largest gathering of people in holiday sweaters at 7:30 p.m. The party takes place from 5 to 10 p.m. Atlantic Avenue will be shut down to traffic; it will be flooded with food, music, art, and tons of holiday spirit. Old School Square is located at 51 N. Swinton Ave. in Delray Beach. Visit downtowndelraybeach.com.

Keep New Times Broward-Palm Beach Free... Since we started New Times Broward-Palm Beach, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of South Florida, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering South Florida with no paywalls.
