West Palm Beach, FL. (February 10, 2023) – The City of West Palm Beach is planning a celebratory Clematis by Night in honor of the 2022 World Series Champion Houston Astros. The Houston-based Major League Baseball team calls The Ballpark of the Palm Beaches home for its annual Spring Training. The event will be held on the Waterfront from 6 – 9 p.m. Clematis by Night will include baseball-themed activities, including a photo opportunity with the World Series Trophy, appearances by team players and representatives, Astros mascot Orbit and the Astros Shooting Stars promotional team and more.
