Holiday Paradise is a Christmas tradition in West Palm Beach, Florida that celebrates both the tropical paradise that is South Florida and Christmas. Every year, professional sand sculptors come to Downtown West Palm Beach to create sand masterpieces with over 700 tons of sand. The location is right on the waterfront. So, you can take a stroll down Clematis, visit a few shops, grab a bite or a drink, and end up at the West Palm Beach Waterfront! Visit anytime from November 18-24, 2020.
What’s Christmas in Florida without taking advantage of the great weather and beautiful waterways? Rather than your typical holiday parade, Floridians like to upgrade from floats to real-life water vehicles. Residents deck out their boats in true holiday fashion; with lights, music, and holiday creations that’ll leave you inspired. One of the most locally-renowned Christmas boat parades is the Pompano Beach Holiday Boat Parade, which is scheduled for December 11 on the intercoastal waterway.

Now in display at the South Florida Science Museum, Real Bodies the Exhibition features displays of human bodies preserved through a process known as plastination.

With each exhibit, you can learn more about how the body works to perform functions. And, be amazed at how the body works in meticulous detail to exist and offer life.
