The Shops at Boca Center is hosting a string of fall and holiday events through December, with family activities, live entertainment, wellness classes and charity fundraisers.
The biggest night comes Friday, Nov. 20, from 5:30 to 8 p.m. in the Center Courtyard. Families can count down to the tree lighting and enjoy carolers, a visit from Santa, hot cocoa and treats. Photos with Santa cost $10 per child, and the money supports the Boca Raton Toy Drive, run by the city’s six Rotary Clubs. Guests are also invited to bring new, unwrapped toys to donate.
On weekends from Nov. 28 through Dec. 20, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., shoppers can have gifts wrapped for $5 each on select days. The proceeds go to Tri-County Animal Rescue, a no-kill shelter in Boca Raton.
Dogs and their owners can attend Santa Paws on Friday, Dec. 11, from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. at Drift at the Boca Raton Marriott. That event also benefits the shelter, which the center says has saved 100,000 dogs and cats since 1996.
The courtyard also hosts yoga on Sunday, Dec. 6, from 4 to 5 p.m., and a show by The Gritty Groove Band on Friday, Dec. 18, at 6 p.m.
