Going To Spring Training In The Palm Beaches? Catch Some Culture!

Palm Beach County, Florida is now the Spring Training home of four major league baseball teams, and the county is bursting with cultural activities for visiting fans.

The brand-new Ballpark of The Palm Beaches opens this month in West Palm Beach. The 6,500-seat facility will be the Spring Training home to the Houston Astros and Washington Nationals. Baseball and culture will come together when Palm Beach Opera performs the stadium’s first national anthem on opening day, February 28. Further north in Jupiter, Roger Dean Stadium is home to the St. Louis Cardinals and Miami Marlins.
