The centennial programming included a range of exciting events and activities, such as exhibits, concerts, and festivals. One of the highlights was a concert headlined by the popular rock band Weezer, which drew large crowds and generated significant buzz on social media. The city also launched a new sign at Sanborn Square, a logo design competition that encouraged residents to submit their own designs, and a centennial-themed beer brewed in collaboration with Prosperity Brewers.
According to a comprehensive impact study conducted by the city, the centennial programming had a significant effect on the community. The study found that:
- 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 success of the centennial programming is a testament to the city’s commitment to celebrating its history and culture. The Providencia Award recognition is a well-deserved honor that acknowledges Boca Raton’s efforts to promote tourism and economic growth in the region.
