PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla. — Here are 5 fun, but socially distant, things to do this weekend in South Florida.
1) Ale Trail of The Palm Beaches
Most people think their local Palm Beach County brewery is closed, that's according to Discover The Palm Beaches. However, under the Palm Beach County COVID-19 Phase 1 Order, breweries with food options are allowed to operate.
To help stimulate business, Discover has created the 'Ale Trail' app where you can win prizes like a resort stay and get discounts on beer at over 15 breweries in Palm Beach County. The promotion goes on through the end of the year.
One of horse racings' longest-running events will take place four months later than planned because of the coronavirus pandemic. The 146th Kentucky Derby will air on Saturday, Sept. 5 starting at 2:30 p.m. on WPTV NewsChannel 5. Post time is set for around 7:01 p.m.
