It’s a new annual tradition to make the drive up to Delray Beach for the holidays. The City of Delray Beach has really put a lot into their Downtown and transforming Old School Square Park into a magical Christmas wonderland.
100ft Christmas Tree
2018 has marked the 25th Anniversary of the 100 foot Christmas Tree. You read that right, 100 feet tall! It is a gorgeous display of lights that is nothing short of stunning at night. The tree is open daily, with a $1 suggested donation. You can walk inside and look up and see the tree internally. There are also little windows with displays inside and music playing. In the courtyard you can meet Santa, ride the carousel, ice skate or play mini golf.
Christmas Miracle
After exploring the square and taking some beautiful family photos. A perfect addition to the night is a stop to Death & Glory. This local downtown Delray restaurant staple transforms into Miracle! Miracle Bars have been popping up all around the country. Christmas decorations, lights and fun surprises adorn each location. There is also a special festive menu and glassware.
Drinks like a Christmapolitan, Snowball Old Fashioned and Bad Santa. One of my favorites is the Run Run Rudolph which has gin, mulled wine puree, lemon and prosecco. Great mix of classic and bubbles with a holiday twist! A unique bonus is a festive food menu as well! We went with Bah Hamburger which is also available with a vegan patty. The tomato aioli is such a great touch with the seasoned patty. It also comes with rosemary fries which are amazing!
It’s a great way to kick off or wrap up the holiday season! You still have time left to see it this year!
