Plan your day this Saturday (2/13) in Lake Worth!* Stroll the downtown, see the Gulfstream hotel, and so much other fun stuff to do

If you haven't been to downtown Lake Worth in a while, it's taken on a very quirky and cool vibe of late. If you happened to hear about a 'curfew' in Lake Worth that is completely false. Some in the news media like to cause trouble because they can. So ignore what you've read in the 'news' or seen on TV—come to Lake Worth and see for yourself.

One of the opening acts for the City's Street Painting Festival on February 20th/21st is the City's Annual Festival of Trees this Saturday. You can read more about that below.
Two of Lake Worth's "main streets", Lake and Lucerne avenues, become a canvas for artists from around the world.
Take a stroll down and check out the City's historic Gulfstream hotel which is going through the process to receive a long-awaited renovation.

Then proceed to the Cultural Plaza for the City of Lake Worth's Annual Festival of Trees from 9:00–4:00.*
Here is more information:
    “At the Festival of Trees, you can buy native trees and plants from local nurseries and get advice and information about proper plant placement and tree pruning,” said David McGrew, City of Lake Worth Horticulturalist and staff liaison to the board. “Nurseries and environmental organizations will offer information, advice, and much, much more. Come with your questions!”
And more about the City's Tree Board:
     The Tree Board is one of a number of advisory boards which assist the City Commission. Members of the public are encouraged to attend Tree Board meetings on the second Thursday of the month. Contact David McGrew at 561-586-1677 or email (copy and paste) at dmcgrew@lakeworth.org
Check out how cool and charming the little City of Lake Worth is this Saturday!
