The Five O’Clock Somewhere country music festival in downtown West Palm Beach is drawing thousands of residents and visitors, giving a boost to the local economy and businesses. One of the businesses seeing an influx of visitors is the West Palm Beach Cowboy Club, a relatively new restaurant in town. On Friday, they served over 3,000 people from open to close.

Co-owner Brian Swenson said that large events like this festival always draw more business to the restaurant, especially in June, which is typically a slow month. The festival is providing the restaurant with more exposure, and they are experiencing a similar uptick in business as they did during the boat show. The West Palm Beach Cowboy Club is the official after-party spot for the festival and will be open until 3 a.m. with live music, a DJ, and a late-night menu.

Local Businesses Benefit from Festival

The festival is not only benefiting the West Palm Beach Cowboy Club but also other local businesses. The event is bringing in thousands of people, who are spending money at local restaurants, shops, and hotels. This is a welcome boost to the local economy, especially during a typically slow month.

Residents and visitors can enjoy the festival, which features live music, food, and drinks. The event is also providing a platform for local businesses to showcase their products and services. With the festival running until Sunday, local businesses are expecting a busy weekend ahead.
