This event, held early in May of each year, offers the opportunity for The Palms West Chamber and our local businesses to express thanks to our area educators for their contributions to the future workforce. Attendees and sponsors return regularly and give very high grades to this yearend function. The 2010 Teacher Appreciation Social was the best attended social in the 13 years it has been going on.

Celebrating the annual Holiday Parade's 26th year, this fun-filled, family event is a favorite of the western communities attracting more than 25,000 spectators cheering on hundreds of parade participants and joining in the fun. Parade entries include exhilarating marching bands, talented baton twirlers and majorettes from local high schools, magnificent strutting horses representing the equestrian community, and creative floats reflecting the parade theme, which this year is “HOMETOWN HOLIDAYS” - Connecting Family, Friends and Community. Colorful costume characters and hilarious clowns entertain the children along the parade route on Forest Hill Boulevard through the beautiful Village of Wellington. This year's parade is generously sponsored by Royal Palm Toyota, Royal Palm Nissan and Royal Palm Mazda located at the Royal Palm Auto Mall.   (42 photos)
