The program not only brought attention to the city but also helped to promote tourism in the area. With its rich history, beautiful beaches, and vibrant cultural scene, Boca Raton is a popular destination for visitors from all over the world.

The Providencia Award recognizes cities that have made significant contributions to their county’s tourism industry. The award is given annually by Discover the Palm Beaches, a organization that promotes tourism in the region. The winner of the award will be announced soon, and Boca Raton is hoping to take home the top prize.

Boca Raton’s centennial programming was made possible through partnerships with local hotels, nonprofits, and cultural institutions. The city worked closely with these partners to create a yearlong celebration that would showcase its rich history and culture.
