Clematis by Night in West Palm Beach: every Thursday left in 2026

Clematis by Night is the City of West Palm Beach’s free Thursday concert series on the waterfront. The City lists every show through the end of 2026, and that list has a few Thursdays that are not regular concerts. We read the City’s Clematis by Night page on October 20, 2026 and laid out each remaining Thursday below, with the nights off and the special editions marked.

There is no regular concert this Thursday. The City lists the Holiday in Paradise Tree Lighting from 6 to 10 PM, an hour longer than a normal show, at Waterfront Commons, Meyer Amphitheatre and Flagler Drive. It is free and includes the official lighting of Sandi, the City’s sand tree. Our Sandi tree lighting guide covers the night.

Thursday, December 31: Sandi’s New Year’s Eve

The year’s last Thursday is also New Year’s Eve. The City lists Clematis by Night: Sandi’s New Year’s Eve from 8 PM to midnight at Centennial Square and the Great Lawn. That starts two hours later than a regular show and ends three hours later.

• The City lists Clematis by Night: Sandi's New Year's Eve on Thursday, December 31, 2026, 8:00 p.m. to midnight, at Centennial Square and the Great Lawn. City of West Palm Beach: Clematis by Night

The nights off

The City’s list marks Thursday, November 26, 2026 (Thanksgiving) and Thursday, December 24, 2026 as NO CONCERT. If a third-party calendar shows a band on either night, trust the City. One county tourism listing gives a weekly window of May 28 to November 26, 2026, which would end the series on a night the City has marked off. The City’s own list runs through December 31.

What to bring and who can come

The City’s event pages describe the concerts as free and invite guests to bring a lawn chair or a blanket. Its Community Events FAQ says City-sponsored events welcome leashed dogs. The City’s venue page says the Great Lawn has public restrooms on site and parking one block away.

Looking for Centennial Square on a map? The City gives two addresses: its fountain listing says 150 N. Clematis Street, and its venues page says 100 South Clematis Street. Event listings use 100 N. Clematis Street, which is the address we put in a GPS. The Waterfront page shows what sits where between the lawn, the fountain and the amphitheatre.

Getting there and parking on a Thursday

West Palm Move’s fixed route runs until 9 PM on weekdays, the same minute a regular concert ends, so for the ride home plan on the $2 on-demand service, which the City lists until 10 PM. Our West Palm Move guide explains fares and stops.

• The City lists fixed-route hours as Monday to Friday 6:00am to 9:00pm, Saturday 8:00am to 9:00pm and Sunday 8:00am to 8:00pm. Its launch release lists on-demand service daily, 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. City of West Palm Beach: West Palm Move

The City names the Banyan garage, at Banyan Boulevard and Narcissus Avenue, as the closest City garage to the Palm Stage and the Great Lawn. Thursday is a weekday, so the normal garage rate applies unless an event rate is posted: $1 for the first two hours, then $2 per half hour, with a $20 daily maximum. Park at 6 PM and leave at 9 PM and that comes to $5 by our arithmetic. Street meters in the City’s Zone A cost $2.50 an hour with a two-hour limit, shorter than a three-hour concert, so a garage is the easier choice. The parking picker ranks every garage by walk to the lawn.

• The City says the Palm Stage and the Great Lawn are at 100 North Clematis Street, reached from Flagler Drive, Narcissus Avenue or Clematis Street; the closest City garage is the Banyan garage at Banyan Boulevard and Narcissus Avenue. City of West Palm Beach: Directions and Parking

The City’s Clematis by Night list stops at December 31, 2026. When we checked, no 2027 dates were posted, and we will not guess them. Our research marks the 2027 question as not confirmed until the City posts a schedule. The full downtown calendar, including the GreenMarket on Saturdays, is on our events page.

• The City lists Clematis by Night dates only through December 31, 2026. A Discover The Palm Beaches listing gives a weekly window of May 28 to Nov 26, 2026. No 2027 schedule is posted. City of West Palm Beach: Clematis by Night
