This holiday season, Boca Raton is wrapping up its 100th year in spectacular style — with twinkling lights, festive sights, and community delights. As part of its Centennial celebration, the City invites residents and visitors alike to experience a joyful lineup of seasonal events, each sprinkled with a bit of Boca magic.

“As Boca Raton reflects on its first 100 years, there’s no better way to cap off the Centennial than by coming together to celebrate what makes this city shine: its people, its traditions, and its unwavering community spirit,” said Mayor Scott Singer.  “Come for the lights, stay for the memories…and help us make this season one for the next century.”

Whether you're sipping hot cocoa under palm trees, marching to the beat of holiday classics, or snapping selfies with Santa, there’s a merry moment waiting for everyone.
