Boca Center, the city’s premier gathering place to shop, dine and relax, has partnered with the Spirit of Giving Network to safely spread holiday joy this season through a series of winter-themed activities for kids and adults alike. #MerryatBocaCenter events include virtual Santa meet and greets, a winter wonderland photo booth, snow globe workshops, holiday happy hours, live music, toy drives and more. Boca Center is located at 5150 Town Center Circle, north of Palmetto Park Road on Military Trail.
Beginning December 4 through January 4, Boca Center’s will have a winter wonderland photo booth set-up next door to En Vogue Boutique, outside of the former Brio space. The photo booth will include a seated setup with a faux fireplace and a dreamy backdrop of white birch trees, suspended silver balls and snowflakes. The birch trees will also have Spirit of Giving virtual gift tags that guests can take to spread some joy to kids in need. Those who post their photo booth pictures on social media with the hashtag #MerryAtBocaCenter will be automatically entered to win a gift basket valued at over $250.
