In celebration of its centennial in 2025, Boca Raton hosted an extensive yearlong programming that brought together area hotels, nonprofits, and cultural institutions. The event featured a range of activities, including exhibits, concerts, and special events, such as the launch of a centenni-ale beer with Prosperity Brewers, a new sign at Sanborn Square, and a concert headlined by Weezer.
One of the most notable aspects of Boca Raton’s centennial programming was its ability to reach a wide audience. According to a centennial impact study conducted by the city, 76.5 percent of Boca Raton’s residents were aware of the programming, while an additional 2 million Florida residents outside of Boca Raton were also made aware of the event.
The study also revealed that 44,000 residents attended at least one of the events and activities hosted by the city during its centennial celebration. These numbers demonstrate the success of Boca Raton’s programming in engaging with both local and regional audiences.
