Boca Raton’s Holiday Tree Lighting takes over Mizner Park from 6 to 10 p.m., with live music, a holiday market, a craft station and food and drinks for purchase. The city’s official event page lists the activities but does not give a date in the text provided.
The highlight is the ceremonial lighting of the city’s tree at 7:30 p.m., led by Mayor Andy Thomson. The city’s tree will light up at the same time as the park’s display. Three bands are scheduled: The Holidazed at 6:20 p.m., Sekond Nature at 7:40 p.m. and Jam-X The Band at 8:45 p.m., each playing for 60 minutes.
Families can get a free photo with Santa, sponsored by Lumi Dental, and receive a 4-by-6-inch print. A Winter Wonderland area along the center of the park includes falling snow, a strolling snowman, face painting, kids’ art activities and a 40-foot Christmas tree.
Mizner Park will also be decorated with 50,000 LED lights on 75 palm trees, plus 2D light displays for photos. Guests may bring one unopened bottle of water per person. The City of Boca Raton, WPBF 25 and Mizner Park sponsor the event.
