Boca Raton’s 100th birthday was May 26 and the city avoided a conflict with Memorial Day by holding its celebrations on the Saturday and Sunday before the holiday.

Drone show, BRiC — May 25
The centennial drone show offered a choreographed symphony of lights, color and movement, including this display of the city’s Historic Town Hall, now home to the Schmidt Boca Raton History Museum. The setting for the show was the Boca Raton Innovation Campus, which is the birthplace of the IBM personal computer and serves as a symbol of the city’s pioneering spirit. Photo provided
