Town warns about fraudsters impersonating law enforcement
A town fraud warning, contractor rules, beach cleanup, Four Arts dates, and Kravis shows to plan around.
The Town of Palm Beach has a scam alert posted warning residents about fraudsters impersonating law enforcement. The alert is the kind of practical public-safety notice that can get missed if it only lives on a government page, but it matters for older residents, seasonal households, caregivers, and anyone helping manage family finances. The simple rule is still the important one: do not treat an urgent phone call or message as proof of authority. Verify through official channels before sending money, sharing personal information, or following payment instructions. It is also worth sharing with family members who may not check town alerts themselves.
Contractors have a new HB 803 info sheet to read
Palm Beach has an HB 803 contractor information document posted for 2026. This is a narrow item, but it can matter if you own property, manage work on the island, or have summer repairs lined up. Before a project starts, contractors and homeowners should understand what the town is flagging, because permitting and job-site rules are exactly where small misunderstandings turn into delays. If you have a contractor scheduled, send the document before work begins rather than after a question comes up.
Mid-Town Beach seawall work is on the horizon
Mid-Town Beach seawall replacement is set for early 2027. That is not an immediate detour, but beach access, protection work, and construction timing all matter in Palm Beach. Residents who use that stretch should keep the project on their radar well before construction begins. Seawall work also has a way of touching parking, access points, noise, and routines even when the core project is straightforward. It is a beach-routine item as much as an infrastructure item.
Four Arts hours are worth checking before you go
The Society of the Four Arts keeps its general information and hours posted online, and summer is the season when that small check can save a wasted trip. If you are planning a library, garden, or exhibition visit around lunch, weather, or guests, confirm the hours before crossing it off the day’s list. Palm Beach has fewer casual indoor options than larger nearby cities, so knowing which institutions are open matters. That is especially true when guests are in town during summer visits.
Four Arts has a food-forest cookbook talk coming up
The Society of the Four Arts lists Florida’s Food Forest Cookbook with Dr. Amanda Pike for Thursday, July 9. It is farther out than the weekend, but it fits the island calendar because Four Arts programming often fills early. The subject also has a local angle: Florida gardening, food forests, and what grows well here are more useful than another generic lecture listing. If you garden, cook, or keep trying to make sense of South Florida planting seasons, this one is worth saving.
Twenty-Four Hours lands at Four Arts next week
Four Arts has Twenty-Four Hours in the Life of a Woman listed for Wednesday, June 24. It gives residents a nearer-term cultural option than the July lectures, and it is a quieter midweek pick for anyone staying close to the island while the summer calendar thins out. The date is close enough to plan now without turning the issue into a long-range calendar dump.
Florida Pro-Am starts Saturday at the Kravis Center
The FMG Florida Pro-Am preliminary competition is listed for Saturday, June 20 at the Kravis Center’s Rinker Playhouse. It is technically across the bridge, but it is close enough to matter for Palm Beach residents looking for a performing-arts stop this weekend. Keep it as the nearby Saturday pick if you want something indoors and structured.
The Princess Concert arrives before the holiday weekend
The Princess Concert is listed at the Kravis Center for Friday, July 3. If family is visiting for the holiday weekend, this is the sort of easy indoor show to keep in the planning mix, especially if afternoon storms or heat make outdoor plans less reliable. It also gives guests a non-beach option before the Fourth.
Tori Amos is on the July Kravis calendar
Tori Amos brings the In Times of Dragons tour to the Kravis Center on Tuesday, July 7 at 7:30 p.m. It is a little farther out, but ticketed shows are worth mentioning before the last-minute scramble. Save it now if you want a post-holiday concert night.
