Each spring, a stretch of South Dixie Highway transforms into one of Palm Beach’s most anticipated evenings...

Evening on Antique Row, now in its 31st year, returns on April 11, 2026, bringing together art, design, and community in a setting that feels both festive and distinctly refined.

Hosted by the Young Friends of the Historical Society of Palm Beach County, the event is led by chair Natalie Smith, immediate past chair Grace Walker, and vice chair Collin “Santini” Adams. It supports the organization’s mission to preserve South Florida’s history while funding educational programs for future generations.

For one night, six blocks of the West Palm Beach Art & Design District becomes entirely pedestrian. South Dixie Highway closes between Monroe Drive and Southern Boulevard, allowing guests to move freely between the area’s celebrated galleries, antique shops, and design studios.

More than 40 merchants open their doors late, offering a rare opportunity to explore curated collections spanning the 17th through 20th centuries. Decorative arts, fine art, and bespoke design services sit alongside unexpected discoveries, each space inviting over 2,000 guests to linger a little longer.

Live music, including performances by The Derek Mack Band and The Andrew Morris Band, drifts through the street as guests move between spaces, stopping for handcrafted cocktails and bites from some of the area’s most sought-after restaurants. The atmosphere is layered, part street festival, part cultural gathering, part social evening, with each element thoughtfully integrated into the experience.

It is this balance that has made the event a fixture on the Palm Beach calendar. Familiar, yet never repetitive.

General admission offers access to the full experience, including entry to participating merchants, live entertainment, and curated food and beverage offerings.

For those seeking a more elevated evening, VIP access introduces a more private layer, with exclusive lounges, catered bites, and a dedicated after-hours celebration complete with a DJ and dance floor.

Private cabanas, available in limited number, offer an even more intimate setting, with reserved seating and extended time to enjoy the night at a more relaxed pace.

At its core, Evening on Antique Row is more than a social highlight. It is a fundraiser that directly supports the Historical Society of Palm Beach County, helping to preserve the region’s cultural heritage while investing in educational initiatives that connect the community to its past.

It is this sense of purpose that gives the evening its depth, a celebration that feels as meaningful as it is memorable.

Each March, as the season reaches its cultural crescendo, Palm Beach Modern + Contemporary becomes one of the most important rooms in South Florida. Presented by Art Miami, the fair returns for its ninth edition with an invitation only VIP Preview on Thursday, March 19, followed by public access through Sunday, March 22, 2026 at the Palm Beach County Convention Center.

Timed to coincide with the height of the winter social calendar, PBM+C has established itself as the definitive art moment of the season, drawing serious collectors, curators, museum directors and interior designers for an intimate look at museum quality works available for acquisition. It is less spectacle and more substance, a focused gathering of international galleries presenting works from the contemporary, modern, post war and pop eras.

PBM+C brings together an internationally respected roster of galleries from across Europe, North America and beyond, offering works from blue chip masters and rising voices alike. Names such as Alex Katz, David Hockney, Yayoi Kusama, Andy Warhol, Keith Haring, Alexander Calder and Henry Moore will appear alongside emerging and mid career artists whose works continue to shape the global conversation.

The fair has become a winter anchor not only because of its caliber but because of its audience. Palm Beach’s ever growing community of culturally fluent collectors and design leaders has transformed the fair into a meaningful marketplace, one where acquisitions are made with discernment rather than impulse.

Inside the fair, thoughtful touches including a café and inviting VIP Lounge allow the days to unfold at an easy, considered pace.

As Director Nick Korniloff notes, the fair continues to mark a defining cultural moment each winter. In a calendar filled with social obligations, PBM+C distinguishes itself with clarity and focus, bringing the international art market directly to one of the world’s most discerning collecting communities.
