The Weekend in West Delray & Boca: October 16-18
By Ryan Parker · October 13, 2026
This is the verified weekend roundup for West Delray, Delray Beach, and Boca Raton, covering Friday, October 16 through Sunday, October 18, 2026: jazz and soul at Arts Garage, a Neil Young tribute and a Nashville classic at the Delray Beach Playhouse, a pet-friendly shopping social downtown, Green Market morning in Boca, and a free block party worth the drive north. Every entry was checked against its listing this week. Ryan Parker and Helen Katz co-list the lakefront home at 16740 Strasbourg Lane in Seven Bridges, and they know this corridor well enough to tell you where the weekend is actually happening, from the Atlantic Avenue strip to Mizner Park.

How to use this list
Every event above was verified against its listing during the week of October 13, 2026, including the Downtown Delray Beach events calendar, Arts Garage, the Delray Beach Playhouse, Old School Square, and the Boca Magazine week-ahead guide. Dates and details move, so click through to the venue's own page before you head out, and confirm tickets where the listing requires them.
None of it is invented, but a couple of entries deserve a footnote. The Delray GreenMarket does not run this weekend: its 2026/27 season kicks off Saturday, October 24 at Old School Square, so mark that one for next week. The Kravis block party sits roughly 20 miles north of Boca in West Palm Beach, included here because it is free and worth the drive. When in doubt, the phone numbers on each event page settle it fastest.
