The incredible Lake Worth Street Painting Festival is a 2-day event where chalk artists come and create stunning art on the pavement in downtown Lake Worth. 

This is the largest event of it's kind and so are the chalk masterpieces. Some of the chalk paintings are 3-D, so you might think you're about to fall off a cliff or approaching the edge of  lake, but it's just the angle and artist expertise. 

This style dates back to 16th century Italy and serves as an open-air art museum. The catch is that the art only lasts until the next rain, which makes viewers appreciate the work even more.

Lake Worth celebrates with a full-on festival including live music, tasty food, family activities, and areas for kids to draw with environmentally-friendly…

In October 2017, Americans purchased homes at the fastest pace in a decade- a 6.2% monthly increase nationally, and a 16% monthly increase in Palm Beach County, according to the Florida Realtors Association.

Why are people buying?

One contributing factor could be the result of the national interest rate on 30-year fixed mortgages continuing to drop. Last week mortgage rates dropped from 3.95% to 3.92% in comparison to 4.03% in 2016 (National Association of Realtors). Historically, lower mortgage rates have helped drive home sales and those looking to refinance the market.

A healthy job market and low national unemployment rate of 4.1% could also be driving people to purchase homes. Palm Beach County currently has a strong economy with areas…

  Sons & Daughters Farm and Winery in Lake Worth is more like a dreamland than a farm. The 17-acre plantation includes rows of trees, gardens, patios covered in string lights, wooden stage areas, small farm animals, and an all-over ambiance of a pastel vintage getaway. It was named #1 on New Times list of Top 10 Farms in Palm Beach County for reasons you will see when you get there.     The farm was created after a commercial nursery was decimated after a series of hurricanes in 2005. Teal Pfiefer and David Bick spent years re-nurturing the land with fresh soil, turning it into an organic farm free of chemicals. The couple then began planting crops that would thrive in the climate naturally, without any preservatives or need for harmful farming…
