Weekend things to do: Willie Nelson, Seu Jorge, Oyster Fest and return of West Palm Beach GreenMarket

Our cup runneth over — and not just with Vodkapalooza’s 150 varieties of vodka (but that, too). Willie Nelson is here, and Oyster Fest is back. So is the Pineapple Grove Bed Race in Delray Beach, the West Palm Beach GreenMarket and Old Town Untapped in Pompano Beach. Of course, there are spooky-spoofy menu items all over — if you made a cocktail with fava bean and a nice chianti, what would you call it? See below …

THURSDAY

Pardi time:Country good-timer Jon Pardi brings his Mr. Saturday Night World Tour to Hard Rock Live at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Hollywood on Thursday night. The concert begins at 7 p.m. with solid openers Midland and Ella Langley. Tickets are available, starting at $40+. Visit MyHRL.com.

Weekend cocktail:This week, in a ramp-up to Halloween, cocktail lounge The Commodore in The Ritz-Carlton Coconut Grove debuted a Haunted Mansion menu of spirited sips with help from local cocktail influencer Gio Gutierrez (@chatchowtv). My favorite is a blend of Havana Club Añejo Blanco rum, lime, fava bean and chianti — it’s called Clarice. Visit Instagram.com/thecommodorecg.

Las Olas art:Local muralist and painter Lori Pratico — you’ll find her work all over, most obviously the “Together” wall she did during the pandemic on Oakland Park Boulevard — has a new solo show in Fort Lauderdale at Las Olas Capital Arts (888 E.
