Boca’s Centennial Meet-and-Greet
March 20 - March 27, 2025
MUNICIPAL
Boca Ratonians turned out by the hundreds to meet the people who run the city. Boca’s free “State of the City and Community Celebration” with live music proved irresistible on a perfect Friday evening in the open-air Mizner Park Amphitheater. Staff members from each city department had a booth, many with games and takeaways. Boca Raton Historical Society even had the centennial’s coffee table book for sale. City Council members were right there at the entrance of the booths to connect with residents. And Boca Raton police and the Fire Rescue Services were out in force, too. They even gave away firefighter hats to the kids.
False Rumor: No Housing in North Park The special district planning a new park in Boca will not conspire with the city to put housing in North Park. “I had a few phone calls, and I put their mind at ease,” Commissioner Bob Rollins said to dismiss false rumors on social media.
