Delray Beach is a town in Florida. The first building to be constructed here was the Orange Grove House of Refuge in 1876. It was named after all the sour tropical fruit trees that were growing in this area.

1. Visit a Japanese garden: An early Japanese farming settlement in Palm Beach County motivated the Morikami Museum and Japanese gardens. There are two museums and a number of Japanese gardens that include a bonsai garden. Throughout the year several traditional Japanese festivals are held here and if one is so inclined one can watch and participate in a typical Japanese tea ceremony.

2. A treat for bird watchers: Nature lovers will thoroughly enjoy this attraction, especially bird lovers. Wakodahatchee was built by the Water Utilities Department as a sanctuary for many species of birds, turtles and small native animals who pay a visit throughout the year. The wildlife can be seen in their natural habitat from a three quarter mile boardwalk that takes visitors around this beautiful place.

3. Explore art works: The Milgaro Center is a unique art and cultural facility that features a gallery that promotes the works of new, promising artists, as well as a theater and dance, music, visual arts, and communication arts. Educational programs for children are also available.

4. Enjoy choral music: Performing beautiful choral music in the South Palm Beach County area for over 22 years is the Delray Beach Chorale; this chorale performs two major programs a year in the winter and spring in a broad repertoire. Shows are conducted at the First Presbyterian Church on Gleason Street.

5. See an exhibition: The Old School Square Cultural Arts Center houses the Cornell Museum of Art and History, an old 1926 gymnasium, with classrooms that have been restored, the Crest Theatre, and an outdoor entertainment pavilion. A large variety of outstanding exhibits, performances, concerts, unique events, and education programs are presented at this center.
