The city of Boynton Beach and the Boynton Beach Community Redevelopment Agency are joining together for the 2008 Boynton Beach Holiday Extravaganza, which includes the annual Holiday Parade, tree lighting and concert with Jon Secada.
The event is set to take place all around downtown, starting at 5 p.m. Dec. 6.
April Majoy, the CRA's marketing and events assistant, said the evening kicks off with the parade at 5 p.m. along North Federal Highway, starting from Southeast 12th Avenue running to Ocean Avenue.
Kathy Biscuiti, special events director, said in the past few years they have been adding professional acts to the parade.
“We have unicyclists, stilt walkers and even professional clowns,” she said.
Next, a tree lighting is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. The tree is located between Seacrest Boulevard and Sotuheast First Street.
Finally, a free concert is set with Grammy Award winner Jon Secada, located along Ocean Avenue, between Seacrest Boulevard and Southeast First Street.
“Jon lives in Miami, so we are just trying to find something new every year and something that appeals to everyone,” Biscuiti said.
All events are free and open to the public.
