'Tis the Season, West Palm Beach!
"For all those celebrating this season, I extend my warmest wishes to you and your loved ones during the holidays.
Merry Christmas! May this time be filled with holiday cheer and special moments with your loved ones.
Happy Hanukkah! May the Festival of Lights illuminate our homes with hope, peace, and the warmth of shared celebrations.
Joyous Kwanzaa! As you celebrate, may the Kinara's glow inspire a time of togetherness and community.
Finally, as we step into 2026, may the new year bring unity, prosperity, and much to look forward to in our individual lives and throughout our amazing community."
— Mayor Keith A. James
