Kicking off the “most wonderful time of the year,” BRiC presents the first free and open-to-the-public “community” tree lighting in Boca Raton, complete with interactive Santa’s arrival and meet and greet, and the return of live reindeer and WPTV’s First Alert Chief Meteorologist Steve Weagle as emcee. Offering a variety of live entertainment, friends and family festivities, and thousands of free parking spots, guests will enter BRiC through an illuminated “Snowflake Lane” directly into a spectacular winter wonderland of memory-making fun, activities, selfie and group photo opportunities, and food. 

 

Surrounding the dazzling 40-foot Christmas tree, enjoy special photo opportunities with Santa and his reindeer, a tented Santa’s Workshop with face painters and holiday-themed children’s activities and crafts by ArtNEST Studios and the Boca Raton Historical Society & The Schmidt Boca Raton History Museum, LED Cirque Performers on stage and roaming, and a Hula Hoop contortionist spinning with over 30 Hula Hoops. Families can also enjoy a 12-foot holiday bounce house, 360-photo booth experience, and farm animal petting zoo. Interactive entertainment led by Celebrity DJ Dennis Michael Stelling (who has opened for John Mayer and others) includes community choir, acapella, and dance performances by Grandview Preparatory School, Nat King Cole Generation Hope, and Organic Movements Dance School. A delicious lineup of food trucks and cash bar for cocktails will also be available.

 

As has been the tradition for the last nine years, the event benefits Spirit of Giving’s Annual Holiday Gift Drive, bringing holiday cheer to 6,000+ underprivileged children, and the Junior League of Boca Raton. This year, the popular inflated candy canes will be available for purchase with 100% of the proceeds going to CPG Cares, as will a percentage of cash bar sales.

 

Boca Raton Magazine is the exclusive magazine sponsor and WPTV is the exclusive TV sponsor. For the first time in three years, sponsorship opportunities are available to the public. For sponsorship information, contact Kisha Cools at kcools@cpgcre.com.
