The kids' fishing tournament returns to PGA National Park on June 20
Memorial Day is Monday, and Palm Beach Gardens is sliding into summer mode: a kids fishing tournament, GreenMarket vendor deadlines, and a Gardens Mall sale.
The kids' fishing tournament returns to PGA National Park on June 20
If you have a kid who likes water and patience-adjacent activities, this is the one for the calendar. The city's annual Angler Classic — described on its Special Events page as a kids' lakeside catch-and-release fishing tournament — runs Saturday, June 20, from 8 to 11:30 a.m. at PGA National Park, 1 Ryder Cup Blvd.
The morning slot is the whole game. An 8 a.m. start is the only window before South Florida heat ends the day for anyone under twelve. The format is catch-and-release — fish goes back in the lake — and the city lists it as free, per its blanket note that all events on the Special Events page are free unless otherwise marked.
If your kid has never done a tournament before, this is the soft entry: no entry fee, no weigh-in. A morning, a fish, a photo, lunch.
Six weeks left to apply as a Gardens GreenMarket vendor
The vendor application window is open for the 2026–27 Gardens GreenMarket season right now. Applications began Tuesday, May 12, and the deadline is Monday, June 30 — about six weeks from today — per the Special Events page on pbgfl.gov.
This is the planning window if you've thought about becoming a market vendor: produce, prepared food, crafts, the usual mix. Six weeks is enough time to think about it and not enough time to put it off.
The Gardens GreenMarket itself is sponsored by Palm Beach Gardens Medical Center — a sponsorship pairing (hospital, market) that doesn't show up in many other cities. Market Motors, a classic car show, is also on certain market dates. Application materials and program details are at pbgfl.gov.
BOSS at the Gardens Mall opens a 30%-off Spring/Summer sale today
BOSS at the Gardens Mall has its Spring/Summer 2026 Member Sale from Thursday, May 21, through Wednesday, June 3, per a notice from the mall. Members get 30% off select menswear merchandise.
If you've been holding off on a summer suit for graduation, a wedding-heavy June, or just because the heat is about to win, the next thirteen days is the window. The Gardens Mall is at 3101 PGA Boulevard. Specifics on what merchandise qualifies and current store hours are on the BOSS retailer page at thegardensmall.com.
Practical note: Memorial Day weekend tends to clear the best sizes pretty reliably. If you actually want something, this weekend.
What else is on the city calendar before the holiday
For local trades: the city calendar lists a bid opening for ITB2026-182PW, Maintenance of Fire Alarm Systems, on Friday, May 22, from 3 to 3:30 p.m. via virtual link, per the city calendar. That's the procurement window for a vendor change in fire alarm maintenance at city facilities — worth tracking on pbgfl.gov if you're in that business.
And for the rest of us: the Special Events page lists a Memorial Day Ceremony among the city's recurring events. The captured page does not include a time or location, so check pbgfl.gov before Monday morning if you are planning to attend.
