Easter has come and gone, temperatures are picking up and it's time to head out to the beaches!
This month brings us to West Palm Beach for SunFest, the annual waterfront music and arts bash that needs no introduction.
Then we head south to Homestead for the largest Orchid show in the country.
Don't forget Mother's Day, and May also marks the "unofficial" start of the summer vacation season with Memorial Day at the end of the month.
Every year, on the first week of May, the West Palm Beach waterfront becomes the stage of a gigantic party for 5 days with a full lineup of top musical acts, a Fine Art and Crafts competition and exhibition, a 5k race and a stupendous fireworks display on the final day.
This year's performances taking place on three stages will no doubt include some great names as it has in the past.
