This weekend get your rock n' roll/jam band fix with Crazy Fingers in Royal Palm Beach and True Rumours at the Warehouse District, learn the ins and outs of Sunshine State gardening at Mounts Botanical Garden and check out the 36th Annual Boca Fest.

In addition to the top five events listed there's always something great happening at places like The Norton Museum of Art or the Maltz Jupiter Theatre.
