Art & Jazz on the Avenue is our signature outdoor street event in Downtown Delray with live music, live mural art, kids activities and dancing and dining in the street. Art & Jazz embodies the energy and vibe of our Village by the Sea!
In honor of Black History Month, we are hosting February's Art & Jazz on West Atlantic Avenue in The SET neighborhood to recognize Delray Beach's founders. We are partnering with the Peach Umbrella Network to activate the Blackmer's Market at Art & Jazz - a market made up of the black-owned small and micro-businesses in The SET. Join us starting at 6:00pm for a special drum circle and interactive instruction/performance with CAPE Universal, a group dedicated to cultural arts performance education. Join us for this special event where you will immerse yourself in the sights, sounds and history of our Village by the Sea through music and art.
