WARMING UP FOR THE SHOW South Florida’s beautiful beaches and glorious weather attract countless visitors during the winter season. Luckily for us, some of them are world-class performers. This time of year, traffic might be a little sluggish, but you can always look forward to enjoying a diverse and dynamic lineup of musicians, performers, writers and original thinkers at Festival of the Arts BOCA. The annual event, which runs from March 3-12 this year, includes appearances by the inimitable Sergio Mendes, South Florida favorite jazz vocalist Nicole Henry and the irrepressible Fran Lebowitz, as well as a screening of the remastered Disney classic “Fantasia” accompanied by full orchestra. Mizner Park Amphitheater, 561/571-5270, festivalboca.org Festival of the Arts Boca
The Wind in Your Hair People all across the country are envious of our weather. So, why do we all drive around in cars with the windows rolled up? Whether you’re heading out for a day at the beach, dinner on the Avenue or a trip to the drugstore for more sunscreen, streetlegal golf carts are a great way to traverse Delray while enjoying the sunshine and sea breezes. The Cart Shop, which was recently opened by a team of three friends in Delray, can connect you with a spiffy set of wheels. Its fleet of top-of-the-line six-seater golf carts, featuring Bluetooth sound systems and digital gauges, are available for daily and weekly rentals. The colorful carts are equipped with lithium batteries that can travel up to 70 miles on a single charge. 705 Bond Way, Delray Beach, 561/414-2995, thecartshop.com
