Delray Beach Boards Set Stage for Festivals, Historic District Reviews
Several Delray Beach advisory boards met over the past two weeks to line up permits for major community events and weigh changes to historic properties. Because minutes have not yet been published for any of the recent meetings, the items below reflect what was scheduled on each agenda — not confirmed outcomes.
Development Services Group Reviews Festival Permits
On June 25, the Development Services Management Group took up permits for four large-scale events, according to the published agenda. The list includes:
- The Godbout/Prievo wedding at Old School Square, scheduled for Oct. 10, 2026.
- The 7th Annual Downtown Delray Beach Craft Festival on NE 4th Avenue, scheduled for March 6-7, 2027.
- The 38th Annual Downtown Delray Beach Festival of the Arts on W. Atlantic Avenue, scheduled for Jan. 16-17, 2027.
- The 6th Annual International Delray Beach Concours d'Elegance at Old School Square, scheduled for April 14-19, 2027.
These events draw crowds to downtown and affect street closures, parking, and city services. No vote tallies or decisions are available because minutes have not been published.
Historic Preservation Board Weighs Dining and Structure Changes
On July 1, the Historic Preservation Board was scheduled to consider three quasi-judicial items involving historic districts:
- A conditional use request for nighttime outdoor dining at 14-44 S. Swinton Avenue, in the Sundy Village area.
- A certificate of appropriateness and variance for an addition at 102 NE 7th Street, in the Del-Ida Park historic district.
- A demolition, relocation, and vertical alteration request for 46 Marine Way, in the Marina Historic District.
Each item affects how property owners can use or modify structures within designated historic areas. The agenda lists these as items for board consideration; outcomes are not yet confirmed.
Public Art Advisory Board Discusses Projects and Duties
On June 23, the Public Art Advisory Board was scheduled to receive an update on art projects for the Downtown Development Authority. Members were also set to discuss utility box wrapping and review the board's official duties, powers, and responsibilities. No specific projects or dollar amounts are listed on the agenda.
