• The unveiling of a new sign at Sanborn Square
• A concert headlined by the iconic rock band Weezer
• The creation of a commemorative logo for the city’s centennial celebration

According to a recent impact study conducted by the city, the centennial programming had a significant effect on residents and visitors alike. 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 event or activity as part of the centennial celebration

The Providencia Award is a testament to the city’s commitment to showcasing its unique culture, history, and attractions. The award will be presented at an upcoming ceremony, and the winner will be announced soon.
