Famous Location
As one of the most famous locations in the world, that is only 16 miles long, it owes much of its beginnings to Henry Morrison Flagler, who made the decision to make this the queen of winter resorts. A 100 years later and Palm Beach still upholds Flagler’s principles in hospitality, civility, elegance and recreation, thanks to its residents who embody these values.
The centennial weekend, April 15-17,2011 begins with an opening night cocktail party at The Mar-a-Lago Club in Palm Beach. The Centennial Ambassadors Ball takes place at The Breakers on Saturday, the by-invitation-only event honors the centennial ambassadors and major donors who have supported the centennial. On April 17 the commission hosts a parade that begins at the town’s recreation center and ends at Flagler Museum, where a free all-town celebration will be held.
Fashion Famous
The most important fashion houses and couturiers have a footing in Palm Beach, and it’s no surprise. A glimpse at Worth Avenue’s directory says it all. Not only is the island home to fashion-forward men and women, but it’s also a source of inspiration for designers, and what better inspiration than a colorful history full of unique style and elegance. New York department stores are famous for festive window displays, and this weekend the tradition arrives in Palm Beach with Windows of Worth.
