Combing through The Coastal Star’s community calendar each month leaves us, first, in awe of Michele Smith, the conscientious scribe who assembles the massive list and, second, inspired by the wealth of things to do here!
March is a good example, offering so many reasons to get out of the house. For starters, we don’t want to miss Sea Turtle Day at Gumbo Limbo on March 3. We’ll say hello to Butter, the resident lobster, and other reef specimens found off the coast, and get a good look at the new turtle tanks.
Holocaust survivor Eva Appelbaum’s reading at the Highland Beach Library on March 8 deserves our attention. We just finished her book Free Confinement: Survival in Europe 1941-1945.
Can’t miss Festival of the Arts (March 7-18) at Mizner Park Amphitheatre. At the very least, we’ll have to see Casablanca with the Boca Raton Symphonia on March 9. But we’re also looking forward to the Downtown Boca Golf Cart Parade on March 17 for St. Patrick’s Day.
The Hatsume Fair at Morikami Museum and Japanese Gardens March 17-18 is an annual must-see, and we’re toying with the idea of doing a little shopping at the Collectible Treasures Sale at the Boca Raton Museum of Art on March 24.
Also on the 24th, and worthy of our support, is the fourth annual Boating & Beach Bash for People with Disabilities at Spanish River Park. We salute the event organizers for adding wounded soldiers to the honorees this year.
We’re only just getting started. We know there’s no way to do it all.
Make a to-do list of your own so you won’t miss your favorites. After all, it’s spring in Florida and it’s way too nice to stay indoors all the time.
