Morikami Museum and Gardens every summer offers special evenings to come out and enjoy their beautiful gardens.  When the days are hot, bright and humid, Morikami welcomes guests to take an evening stroll through the grounds and enjoy the culinary treats of the Cornell Cafe (separate cost). Relax and enjoy the sun's slow descent into the horizon. Very little is more spectacular than the sun's last rays hitting the Morikami lake with the Japanese bridge in the background.

This wonderful Annual Street Painting Festival in Lake Worth is an event to visit twice!  Come on Saturday and watch as the art starts on the asphalt then return on Sunday to see the finished projects. This is one of the largest chalk art festivals in the nation. The streets close and the artists get down and dirty with pastels developing very complex works of art.
