Related Ross Brings Holiday Magic to Boca Raton Innovation Campus for Annual Holiday Lights Celebration

The beloved community tree lighting returns November 19 with visits from Santa, festive family activities, local food trucks, and a dazzling drone show finale

Boca Raton, FL. (November 3, 2026) – Related Ross is ringing in the holiday season next month with the Annual Holiday Lights celebration on Thursday, November 19, from 5:30 to 7:30 pm at Boca Raton Innovation Campus (BRiC), located at 5000 T-Rex Avenue on Yamato Road. The community gathering will feature the annual holiday lighting with the center lake as its backdrop, a meet-and-greet with Santa, Mrs. Claus and their elves, and an enchanting drone show to cap off the evening.


Younger guests can jump into the holiday spirit at the Nutcracker-themed bounce house or visit the Kids’ Activity Tent, where ArtNest will offer festive keychain-making and Habitat for Humanity will host hands-on activities for children. The Junior League of Boca Raton, an organization devoted to promoting volunteerism, empowerment, and community betterment through the leadership of trained volunteers, will also organize a book drive to encourage literacy and a love of reading. Attendees can also enjoy spending time with therapy dogs in the Canine-Assisted Therapy Area.

 A VIP tent experience will also be available, with tickets priced at $60 for adults and $16 for children under 16. Patrons will be granted access to the VIP hospitality tent, which includes multiple open bars, a variety of hors d’oeuvres, a carving station, and special activities. Inside, the VIP “Kids Corner” will provide treats, beverages, a Candy Bar and a special “Make Your Own S’mores” station. Additional entertainment includes face painting, glitter tattoos, and a live illustrator. All proceeds from the VIP ticket sales will benefit the Junior League of Boca Raton, carrying on the tradition of supporting the organization. Space is limited and the tent typically sells out quickly, so attendees are encouraged to secure their tickets early.


This year’s Food Truck Village will serve up a variety of savory bites and sweet treats. Guests can enjoy offerings from 681 Seafood, How Ya Doughn, Uptown Deli, Maria’s Tacos and Marco’s Burgers, alongside desserts from Santo Dulce, Cotton Candy, Cool & Creamy, Frost E and Crepe Stick. A hot chocolate station will offer the seasonal favorite for all, while a cash bar will offer refreshments for adults. 

Ample free parking is available onsite. In the event of inclement weather, a rain date is set for the same time on Friday, November 20. Continuing the event’s charitable traditions, general admission is free with an unwrapped toy donation. These donations will support the nonprofit’s Annual Holiday Gift Drive, bringing joy to thousands of children throughout Palm Beach County.
