Mizner Park Amphitheater is the place to be for live music in Boca Raton Florida this summer!
It’s going to be a music-filled summer in the City of Boca Raton. The Summer in the City concert series is back for another season of live music in Boca Raton Florida. These free concerts will take place on select Fridays in June and July at the Mizner Park Amphitheater, located at 590 Plaza Real.
There is always something fun to do in Mizner Park, a landmark plaza in Boca Raton. The options for dining and shopping are unparalleled, and the Mizner Park Amphitheater calendar provides frequent entertainment.
The state-of-the-art amphitheater can accommodate 4,200 people. It opened back in November 2002, and the City of Boca took over operations and ownership in October 2010. It serves as a social, cultural, and educational center for South County residents and draws audiences from throughout South Florida. Since its inaugural year, the amphitheater has entertained more than one million people.
I have attended numerous festivals and events at this location. It really is the perfect venue, providing ample space for vendors, food trucks, brand activations, and more.

Friday, June 14th: The Caribbean Chillers
Parrot heads, rejoice! This tribute to Jimmy Buffet will feel extra special this year. The Caribbean Chillers are dubbed ‘Florida’s Favorite Jimmy Buffet Tribute Act,’ but they also tour internationally. We’re lucky to have them as one of the concerts Boca Raton has lined up this summer.

Break out your dancing shoes because ABBA tribute group is sure to turn you into a dancing queen! I saw them recently at Old School Square in Downtown Delray Beach and they were so much fun! They play all the best ABBA classics and it is a total disco vibe.
Friday, June 28th: China Grove
This 9-piece band calls themselves ‘the most authentic version of the Doobie Brothers, anywhere.’ They perform live versions of the classics from Live at Wolf Trap, Live at the Beacon Theater, and Rockin’ Down the Highway collections.

Crazy Fingers is South Florida’s premier Grateful Dead tribute band. They regularly play locally at popular music venues such as the Funky Biscuit in Boca and The Bamboo Room in Lake Worth.
I’m especially looking forward to this show because they’ll be combining their musical talents with the Symphonia Boca Raton. The Symphonia is a chamber orchestra that was founded in July 2004.
Their mission is to inspire, educate, and engage the lives of our diverse South Florida community through extraordinary musical experiences. Joining Crazy Fingers for this one-night-only event will definitely be a unique experience!

Get ready for a soulful night with the Ambassador of Rock ‘n Soul! Billy Buchanan performs the best of soul, blues, and early rock from the 50s to the 80s and beyond.
