BOCA RATON, FL (Boca Post) (Copyright © 2026) — Downtown Boca Raton is set to host the second annual Boca Street Fest later this month, bringing live music, local vendors, food and a State of the City address to Mizner Park as the city leans into a large public event built around community gathering in the center of downtown.
The event is scheduled for Saturday, March 28, 2026, from noon to 4 p.m. at Mizner Park Amphitheater and throughout Mizner Park. City organizers are billing it as a free, family-friendly afternoon designed to draw both residents and visitors into the downtown district.
Boca Street Fest will stretch across the amphitheater and the interior of Mizner Park, turning the area into a pedestrian-focused event space with performances, shopping and food. The city said the festival will include 100 local vendors and makers, along with participating Mizner Park businesses and a range of food options.
Live entertainment is planned across two stages.
At the main stage inside Mizner Park Amphitheater, festivalgoers can expect performances from local bands as well as an open-air beer garden serving craft and domestic selections throughout the afternoon. A separate community stage will feature local music, dance and cultural performances by area groups and organizations.
The event also carries a civic component. Mayor Scott Singer is scheduled to deliver a State of the City presentation as part of the program, outlining Boca Raton’s services, priorities, accomplishments and future direction. That makes the festival more than a street fair. It also serves as one of the city’s public-facing opportunities to frame where Boca Raton says it is headed and what residents should expect from local government.
For residents, the event adds another city-backed gathering to the spring calendar in Boca Raton’s downtown core, centered around Mizner Park, one of the city’s main public event spaces. For local businesses and vendors, it creates a built-in audience in one of the busiest parts of the city. For families, it offers a free daytime event with entertainment and food in a walkable setting.
The city is also promoting multiple free parking options for the festival. Complimentary parking will be available at City Hall, 201 W. Palmetto Park Road; the Downtown Library, 400 NW 2nd Ave.; the Downtown Parking Lot, 300 NW 2nd Ave.; and Building Administration, 200 NW 2nd Ave.
Anyone planning to attend should expect activity throughout Mizner Park during the four-hour event window, with the amphitheater and surrounding areas serving as the center of programming. The setup is intended to encourage people to move through the district, visit vendors, stop at businesses and spend time across the downtown footprint rather than at a single stage or tent area.
The event is free and open to the public.
