I look forward to the monthly Government Affairs meetings as I find them to be interesting and informative regarding City Government and Public Service. It is an opportunity to meet and network with the people that work for, run our city and continue its growth, and make the City of Delray a desirable place to live and do business.

CONGRATULATIONS to the Delray Affair on a fantastic 56th Anniversary event. Things went exceptionally well throughout the entire weekend with great weather, amazing turnout with 110,000+ attendees, packed restaurants and stores and tons of fun. Thank you so much to all the Volunteers, Festival Management Group - Nancy Stewart-Franczak, Sarah N. Vallely and team, Chamber staff and members who took the time on the weekend to support our largest event and fundraiser of the year, Vendors, Sponsors, and huge shout out to the Delray Beach Fire Rescue and Delray Beach Police Department for all their assistance! It definitely takes a village to pull off an event with 560 vendors and the feedback couldn't have been more positive from participants, visitors and all those involved. Thank you City of Delray Beach, Florida Government! #delrayaffair #delraychamber #delraybeach #visitdelraybeach #downtowndelraybeach

Our thoughts and prayers go out to the driver and passenger who crashed tonight in downtown Delray Beach. According to Police Spokeswoman Dani Moschella, the driver lost control of the vehicle, hit a couple booths set up for Delray Affair that starts tomorrow and hit a tree just off Atlantic Avenue at Old School Square. We are grateful no one else was hurt and that the damage was minimal.
