3. Food Truck Invasion

Food Truck Invasion is heading to the Village of Tequesta for a Food Truck Pow Wow at Constitution Park. Get ready to try some of the best gourmet food on wheels. First time at a Food Truck event? Here's what you need to know. Consider it an outdoor picnic where food trucks of different origins -- and offering tons of different cuisine -- prepare food that is cooked to order. It's not fast food, and many of these trucks are run by chefs who cook up a variety of fusion cuisine, comfort foods, and sweet treats. Sometimes there are lines, but they are worth the wait. Be sure to bring your folding chairs or blankets to picnic on on the lawn. The whole family is welcome and encouraged to attend, since this is a family-friendly atmosphere.The day's trucks include Best French Fries, Bite Gastrotruck, Che Grill, Crave-It, Curbside Gourmet, MV My Food Truck, PS561, Parabas Grill, Spring In Roll Out, Taco Fresh, Tip A Roo, Veggie Love, and Zombie Ice. Send your friends who do not have Facebook to this link for details foodtruckinvasion.com/events/. The event starts at 5 p.m. Constitution Park is located at 399 Seabrook Road, Tequesta.

2. Dale K Hypnonis Show

On Saturday, January 24, and Sunday, January 25, you can catch the last few performances from Dale K at the Expo Center at the South Florida Fairgrounds. Dale K's award-winning performances are hilarious and exciting: While most hypnotists will try to convince you to believe in hypnotic trances and mind control, Dale K will show you how powerful your motivation can be and how amazing your imagination actually is. Dale K will unleash your hidden confidence (and talents), and you just might find your own spotlight for a night. Shows start at 2, 5:30, and 8:30 p.m. Before you're done, don't forget to grab one of those amazing Philly Cheesesteak Donut Burgers. The fair is the only place you'll find it.
