Affair of the Arts…an opportunity to shop some of your favorite Affair of the Arts artists and crafters.
In an attempt to exhaust every possible option to best manage the unprecedented circumstances related to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Greater Delray Beach Chamber of Commerce has moved forward with a solution that we feel will best serve our valued vendors’ needs.
Although the City of Delray Beach has recently extended the moratorium on public events, Festival Management Group (FMG), who produces this event on our behalf, has secured a location only minutes away from Downtown Delray Beach allowing them to hold an art show on the same dates as the 2021 Delray Affair, which was scheduled for April 9th – 11th, 2021.
The new location is on the grounds of the Boynton Beach Mall and the event is called "Affair of the Arts". This location allows for a much larger event footprint with more than adequate free parking available for our attendees, easy access off of I-95, and vendor parking in close proximity to the show. The larger footprint provides ample space for social distancing and the implementation of COVID-19 CDC safety protocols to better handle the large crowds that may attend the Affair of the Arts.
