The City will kick off the 2022 Holiday Season with a Town Square Holiday Lighting Event on Friday, Dec. 2 at Centennial Park & Amphitheater in Downtown Boynton. Festivities will begin at 5 pm and run through 8 pm; event highlights, in addition to the holiday lighting, will include live entertainment, food trucks, artisans, family activities, a visit from Santa and more. Performers, including the Boynton Beach Gold Coast Band, Map Dance Theatre and the Young Singers of the Palm Beaches will entertain attendees while spreading holiday cheer. Come hungry, as a variety of food trucks will be on site, including Broadway Bistro, Chicago Me Up, Cousins Maine Lobster, Dough Dough Donuts, No Grind No Shine Italian Ice, Potions in Motion and That’s Amore.
At 6:30 pm, City officials and the City Manager will “Flip the Switch” that will turn on a display of more than 45,000 warm white LED mini lights and light poles in Town Square. The lights will grace the trees and branches of three historic downtown trees, including two Banyan trees on E. Ocean Ave. just east of City Hall (25,000 lights) and the Kapok Tree on E. Ocean and Seacrest Blvd. just west of the Arts & Cultural Center (20,000 lights). In addition, 7,200 cool white LED mini lights will adorn a 3,000 pound, 30’ custom Holiday Tree.
The community is invited to “Snap & Share” photos of themselves enjoying the light display throughout the holiday season; those who post their photos online and tag the City’s social media handles could win a $25 gift card to a Downtown Boynton business or restaurant.
An ASL interpreter will be in attendance. Free parking is available on the corner of Boynton Beach Blvd. and Seacrest Blvd. (entrance is located off Boynton Beach Blvd.) Ride share is encouraged. For ADA accommodations, call 561-742-6241 or ada@bbfl.us.
