This week is stacked: Beatles on the Beach takes over Mizner Park, Kilwins just opened, and Election Day is Tuesday. Grab your coffee and let’s get into it.
📸 Viral Boca
Sugar Hi’s Viral Croissant Cookie
The “Le Crookie” from Sugar Hi in Boca has been blowing up on Instagram and TikTok — a buttery croissant stuffed with chocolate chip cookie dough, baked to flaky, gooey perfection. It’s $8, it’s worth it, and the line proves it. The New York-born sweets shop also does cake scraps, funfetti cinnamon rolls, and custom cakes that are genuinely Instagram-worthy.
⚠️ Important Reminder
Boca Votes Tuesday, March 10
Mayor, three City Council seats (A, B & D), and two ballot questions are on the line. Polls are open 7 AM – 7 PM. No early voting for this one — you have to show up Tuesday. Bring a valid photo ID.
🎯 This Week’s Highlights
Festival of the Arts Boca — Grand Finale with Patti LuPone
The 20th anniversary season wraps up tonight with Broadway legend Patti LuPone — her only Florida appearance this season. If you haven’t caught any of the festival yet, this is the one to see.
Beatles on the Beach Festival
Four days of rock & roll madness. The headline acts: Live and Let Die: A Symphonic Tribute to Paul McCartney (Friday, 8 PM) and Morgan Freeman’s Symphonic Blues Experience (Saturday, 8 PM) — both with full orchestra at Mizner Park Amphitheater. Plus a Ringo Starr Art Exhibition and BeatleCon dress-up contest.
Hugh Panaro at The Studio at Mizner Park
Broadway’s longest-running Phantom performs an intimate evening of show tunes and stories. This venue is small and these shows sell out — don’t wait.
Boca Green Market
Local produce, artisan goods, live music, and great people-watching. One of the best Sunday morning traditions in Boca — runs through May.
