From March 17 to 21, 2027, the Palm Beach International Boat Show sets up along Flagler Drive in downtown West Palm Beach. The show has posted its 2027 dates and daily hours, and the show week changes a few downtown routines, the Saturday GreenMarket among them. We read the show’s home page and the City’s garage pages on October 20, 2026. Ticket prices were not part of what we read, so this page sticks to dates, hours, parking and getting there.

Parking: the City’s event-rate warning
The City runs five downtown garages. On weekdays they charge $1 for the first two hours, $2 for each extra half hour and a $20 daily maximum; on Saturdays, Sundays and holidays, $5 all day. Here is the warning: the City’s rate table excludes special events from the weekend rate and lists special event rates of up to $100. An older City resolution and the City’s parking map give $5 to $40; the current Rates and Payment page says up to $100. None of the pages we read says whether boat show days are billed as special events.
If the normal weekday rate applies, a nine-hour Thursday at the show costs $20, because the daily cap kicks in after about 7 hours. A four-hour visit comes to $9. Those are our sums from the City’s table, not show prices.
