The week is moving fast, but there are still a few good reasons to get out before Friday.

Over the next two days, you can catch a family-friendly opera program, browse new art in Delray Beach, join a waterfront run, learn about Japanese garden traditions or finish Thursday with free live music downtown.

Here’s what’s worth checking out around Palm Beach County before the weekend begins.

I Almost Threw Out My Keurig. It Wasn't Broken.

Every cup from my Keurig started tasting weak, flat, stale — so I unplugged it and stuck it in a closet. Then I learned the dirty secret of grocery store K-Cups: by the time a pod reaches your kitchen, it's usually spent months going from factory to warehouse to truck to shelf. The flavor oils are long gone. Some brands even over-roast to hide it.

The fix wasn't a new machine. It was fresh pods from Angelino's, a family-owned L.A. roastery that roasts, packs, and ships within 3–5 days — straight to your door, from 39¢ a cup. Over 1,000,000 happy customers. 50+ flavors, no subscription required, and 15% off your first order, applied automatically at checkout.

🏃 Celis Run Club

Wednesday, September 16 | 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM
Meyer Amphitheatre | West Palm Beach
Free

If you would rather spend Wednesday evening outside, Celis Run Club meets at Meyer Amphitheatre for its weekly Flagler run.

The group heads out on a three-mile route beginning at 6 p.m., and all paces are welcome. It is free to join, so you definitely do not have to be training for a race to show up.

🪨 Karesansui Raking Demonstration

Thursday, September 17 | 10:30 AM
Morikami Museum and Japanese Gardens | Delray Beach

Thursday morning offers a quieter way to start the day at Morikami.

Garden Curator Heather Grzybek will demonstrate the traditional techniques used to rake a karesansui, or Japanese dry landscape garden. Visitors can watch as gravel is carefully shaped into patterns representing water, currents and waves while learning more about the traditions behind the garden.

The demonstration takes place in the Late Rock Garden and is free with paid museum admission.

🎶 Clematis by Night: Wolfhawk

Centennial Square & Great Lawn | West Palm Beach
Free

Thursday evening brings another round of live music to the downtown West Palm Beach waterfront.

Wolfhawk takes the stage for Clematis by Night from 6 to 9 p.m. Bring a lawn chair or blanket, grab a spot on the Great Lawn and enjoy one more night out before the weekend officially begins.

Two days, plenty of options.

Have a great rest of your week, Palm Beach County!
