November dates: jazz, theater & evenings outside
A film-and-jazz Friday, musical comedy, and market browsing as the holiday season begins.
Make November the month you finally book the show or try the unfamiliar band. These outings give you something to look forward to before the holiday calendar fills up. Choose one that fits your energy, then leave time to enjoy it.
Jazz, film, and a new conversation
The Norton’s November 6 Art After Dark brings short films, gallery activities, and jazz into one evening. Choose your priorities: some program times overlap, and film registration is separate.
Laugh your way through a theater night
Spamalot plays Kravis November 10–15. Pick a performance, book dinner around curtain time, and enjoy the kind of absurd humor that gives you lines to quote on the way home.
Find a surprise at the night market
Boca’s November 5 Night Market makes browsing the activity. Give each other a small budget and ten minutes to find a surprise, or simply compare the makers and treats that catch your eye.
Catch the first holiday lights
Boca’s November 21 tree-lighting celebration brings music, a market, and a festive evening to Mizner Park. Work out parking before setting a dinner time; event road closures change the usual route.
Add a concert or a tasting weekend
Wynonna brings her tour to Kravis November 9, while The Bodyguard plays Thanksgiving weekend, November 27–29. Dream Asia offers a food-and-performance outing November 6–8. Choose the ticketed experience first and shape the rest of the day around it.
Keep a weeknight version in reserve
You do not need a full evening free. Make the market a short wander or let a show be the whole plan. Agree on the food budget and the ride home before you leave, then enjoy being out.
