In celebration of its centennial in 2025, Boca Raton hosted an exciting year-long programming initiative that brought together area hotels, nonprofits, cultural institutions, and residents to commemorate this milestone. The city partnered with local businesses and organizations to create a range of engaging events and activities, including exhibits, concerts, and festivals.

Some of the highlights of the centennial celebrations included:

• A collaboration with Prosperity Brewers to launch a centenni-ale beer
• The unveiling of a new sign at Sanborn Square
• A concert headlined by the iconic rock band Weezer
• The introduction of a new logo designed specifically for the city’s centennial celebration

According to a comprehensive impact study conducted by the city, the centennial programming had a significant impact on the community. Key findings included:

• 76.5 percent of Boca Raton’s residents were aware of the programming
• 2 million Florida residents outside of Boca Raton were also aware of the programming
• 44,000 residents participated in at least one centennial event

The Providencia Award is a prestigious recognition that acknowledges the city’s efforts to promote tourism and celebrate its rich history. The award will be presented at an upcoming ceremony, where the winner will be announced.

Boca Raton’s commitment to celebrating its heritage and engaging with the community has been recognized by Discover the Palm Beaches. The city’s centennial programming initiative was a huge success, and we look forward to continuing to promote tourism and cultural events in the years to come.
