English Bulldog Puppies for Sale in West Palm Beach, FL

PALM BEACH COUNTY, Fla. —

While events outdoors, including green markets are, have been canceled because of bitter cold this weekend, the South Florida Fair has an incentive for people to attend the last day.

On Saturday, organizers said anyone wearing shorts Sunday will be admitted free. That includes shorts worn over pants, leggings, long johns or any other creative layering.

When the fair opens at 10 a.m. Sunday, temperatures are forecast to be around freezing.

"If Polar Bear Club members can jump into the icy water in the middle of winter, surely South Floridians can throw on a pair of shorts over their pants and call it a day," Matt Wallsmith, president & CEO of the South Florida Fair, said. "We're expecting some people to have fun with this and take advantage of the free admission, fashion bravery encouraged, dignity optional."

The South Florida Fair will close at 8 p.m. Sunday after a 17-day run.

On Saturday, the fair was open 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. when the high temperature only reached the low 60s.

There are plenty of activities indoors in the Expo Center and Concourse buildings, including agriculture exhibits, vendors and shows. Popular attractions include the ice skating and comedy hypnotist.

Elevated attractions, including the Sky Ride and the Thunderbird Swing Ride, will shut down should conditions deteriorate further.

Green markets scheduled for this weekend in West Palm Beach and Palm Beach Gardens have been canceled because of the bitter cold, the cities announced Friday.

In West Palm Beach, the city said the event Saturday was canceled "due to inclement weather."

It traditionally runs weekly from 8:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. at Waterfront Commons on Clematis Street from October through late May. It is in its 31st season.

In Palm Beach Gardens, the event takes place on Sundays from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. at City Hall Municipal Campus. The city said the event was canceled because of "weather conditions and safety concerns," though the website says "this event is rain or shine."

The city's Aquatic Complex also will be closed Sunday. The Tennis & Pickleball Center will have a delayed openings at 9 a.m. Sunday and Monday.

Other events affected by the cold weather.

Riviera Beach's “Restoring the Village Community Picnic” on Sunday has been rescheduled for seven days later at 1 p.m.

Wellington's Aquatics Center and Wellington Tennis Center will be closed Sunday but is scheduled to reopen Monday.

Indian River County's North County Aquatic Center and the Gifford Aquatic Center closed at noon Saturday. Gifford is scheduled to reopen at 10 a.m. Tuesday and North County will reopen once air and “real feel” temperatures rise above 50°F and pool water reaches 73°F or higher.

West Palm Beach Neighbors Ask Judge To Force City Action Over Setback Dispute Near Washington Road

, FL (Boca Post) (Copyright © 2026) — A pair of West Palm Beach homeowners has filed a civil complaint in Palm Beach County Circuit Court seeking a court order that would require the City of West Palm Beach to take specific enforcement steps tied to a zoning setback dispute involving a nearby home construction project.

The case is Allen Shutt and Julie Shutt v. City of West Palm Beach and Barking Dog Florida LLC, filed in the Circuit Court of the 15th Judicial Circuit in and for Palm Beach County, Florida, under Case No. 502026CA001006XXXAMB. Court records show the complaint was filed Jan. 27, 2026.

In the filing, the Shutts describe themselves as neighboring property owners and allege the city has not carried out what they characterize as a non-discretionary duty to enforce its zoning and land development regulations after a city board denied a requested variance tied to side setbacks. The complaint is styled as a verified complaint seeking a writ of mandamus and injunctive relief, and it repeatedly states the allegations are aimed at compelling city action rather than seeking a damages award for past conduct.

The complaint names Barking Dog Florida LLC as the owner of the property at issue, described in the filing as 3015 Washington Road, West Palm Beach, and identifies the Shutts’ property as adjacent and located at 3019 Washington Road, West Palm Beach, according to the complaint. The disputed issue centers on what the plaintiffs describe as construction that encroaches into a required “cumulative side setback” under the city’s zoning rules.

According to the complaint, a prior application tied to the property was connected to a certificate of appropriateness process and later permitting, and the filing claims city staff later discovered the proposed new construction did not comply with the minimum side setback rules. The complaint alleges Barking Dog purchased the property in mid-2024 and that construction began in early 2025.

The filing lays out a timeline tied to a variance request that, according to the complaint, was first set to be heard in late September 2025 and later handled at an October 2025 meeting of the city’s Historic Preservation Board. The complaint states the city prepared staff reports for that process, and it quotes from a transcript of the board hearing to support the plaintiffs’ contention that city staff acknowledged errors in the earlier approval pathway and described the city’s approach as an effort to “move ahead” with the request while addressing neighbors’ concerns.

The complaint further alleges the Historic Preservation Board ultimately denied the variance request by a 6–1 vote. The plaintiffs cite board discussion and the written criteria used for variance decisions as part of their argument that the denial should have triggered enforcement steps under the city code.

In terms of relief, the plaintiffs ask the court to issue an order compelling the city to enforce the cited zoning provision and to require the city to order removal of any portion of the new single-family residence that the plaintiffs claim was built within the cumulative side setback. They also seek injunctive relief intended to stop continued construction activity and to prevent the issuance of additional approvals, permits, or a certificate of occupancy while any portion of the residence remains within the setback area described in the complaint.

As with all civil filings at this stage, the complaint is a set of allegations and requests by the plaintiffs and has not been proven in court. The defendants may respond in court filings, and the claims will be subject to judicial review and any defenses raised in the case.

The original complaint, Allen Shutt and Julie Shutt v. City of West Palm Beach and Barking Dog Florida LLC, Case No. 502026CA001006XXXAMB, as filed Jan. 27, 2026, with the Clerk of Court, can be viewed here.

Who's up for a nighttime launch this weekend? A rocket from Cape Canaveral, Florida, is scheduled to lift off.

SpaceX plans to send a Falcon 9 rocket carrying 29 Starlink internet satellites into low-Earth orbit on Sunday, Jan. 18.

Although rockets in Florida launch from NASA's Kennedy Space Center near Merritt Island, Florida, or Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, people in Palm Beach County can sometimes see this phenomenon.

Weather permitting and depending on cloud cover and trajectory, a rocket launch from Florida’s Space Coast is sometimes visible as far north as Jacksonville Beach and as far south as West Palm Beach.

When there’s a nighttime launch window or very early morning, there’s an opportunity for unique photos — the rocket lights up the dark sky and the contrail after makes for a great photo.

Below is more information on the doubleheader rocket launches from Florida and suggestions on where to watch them in person (or virtually via the USA TODAY Network’s Space Team).

For questions or comments, email FLORIDA TODAY Space Reporter Rick Neale at rneale@floridatoday.com or Space Reporter Brooke Edwards at bedwards@floridatoday.com. For more space news from the USA TODAY Network, visit floridatoday.com/space.

When is the next rocket launch from Florida? Sunday, January 18, SpaceX Starlink 6-100

Live weather radar. Will it rain in Melbourne, Cocoa Beach or Cape Canaveral, Florida, today?

Where to see a Florida rocket launch in Palm Beach County. What does a West Palm Beach rocket launch view look like?

Weather permitting and depending on cloud cover, some rocket launches from the Space Coast can be visible in Palm Beach County.

When there’s a launch window in the middle of the night or very early morning, with a southeast trajectory, there’s an opportunity for unique photos. Some examples include United Launch Alliance's Delta IV Heavy rocket launch and SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket.

From Cape Canaveral, Florida, to West Palm Beach, Florida, it's about 150 miles.

In October 2025, the SpaceX Starship rocket, the world's largest, launched from Starbase, Texas, and was spotted in parts of Palm Beach County, Florida, shortly after liftoff. Starbase, headquarters for SpaceX in South Texas, is about 1,500 miles away from this part of Florida.

Rocket launches from Cape Canaveral can often be seen from Palm Beach County, and it can be as easy as walking out of your house and looking north. Try to get away from any obstructions, such as trees, tall buildings, and bright lights. Obviously, cloud cover can also get in the way.

If the forecast is for clear skies and you want a better view, some good places to watch the rocket launch from Palm Beach County include:

As I'm stuck in my NYC apartment on a brisk day in January, I can't help but daydream about the Four Seasons Resort Palm Beach in Florida. I spent one night there in October 2025 and booked the cheapest available room for $920.

Sitting in a cushioned rattan chair on my balcony as the sun went down, I could see the pool surrounded by palms and cabanas, tropical gardens, and the five-star hotel's private beach. It was the epitome of tropical luxury, and I couldn't believe I'd be leaving in the morning.

The oceanfront hotel in Palm Beach, Florida, is four stories tall with 207 rooms and suites — all of which have their own balcony.

I've stayed at three Four Seasons hotels, and one thing I've learned is that each location is designed to suit the destination. So I wasn't surprised when I stepped inside the lobby and found a tropical decor style.

With details like chandeliers resembling ropes and pastel pillows patterned with fruit and leaves, it was impossible to forget I was in Florida.

I booked a Palm View room, complete with a king-sized bed across from a TV, a small sitting area, and plenty of floor space. The interior design blended midcentury modern furnishings with pastel accents, making the room feel like a little beach house.

The bathroom had a double sink and vanity, a bathtub, a spacious standing shower, and a toilet separated by a door. I especially appreciated the cozy terry bathrobe. The marble was the color of sand, and the walls were a muted sea green.

It was larger than most hotel room balconies I've seen, and there was a table and two cushioned chairs. As the sun began to set, I sat and took in the view of the gardens and the ocean. I long for more sunsets on this balcony.

The spa features a eucalyptus steam room, a saltwater whirlpool, and a range of treatments, including massages and facials. With less than 24 hours at this hotel, I didn't have time to use the spa.

If I had another night at the Four Seasons Resort Palm Beach, I would have dined at Florie's.

Herbs in the seasonal cocktails at Florie's Bar come straight from the hotel's garden. For those like me who don't drink, there are plenty of non-alcoholic cocktails available.

The restaurant serves dishes cooked over a live fire, from pizzas to steaks and fish entrées.

I would also have loved to dine on the shaded patio at Seaway, a seafood restaurant with a wide selection of proteins, including lobster, stone crab, and local red snappers, as well as oysters, tiger shrimp, and fresh tuna.

Many of the dishes feature tropical ingredients, such as coconut, pomegranate, and mango.

I wish I'd had time to relax by the pool while being served frozen fruit and cooling towels.

How often do you find a pristine beach free of crowds on a hot day?

Just past the pool at the Four Seasons Resort Palm Beach, a sandy pathway leads to a private beach exclusive to Four Seasons guests. When I went, it was quiet and mostly empty. I wish I could have spent more time on this exclusive strip of the Florida coastline.

To truly relax into the luxury beach vibe of this five-star resort, I'll have to return for a longer stay to try the restaurants, experience poolside service, and spend more time on a quiet, peaceful beach.
