Boca Raton’s “Jolly Days” celebration will transform Mizner Park into a jolly scene Saturday, with the city’s annual Christmas tree lighting and holiday music performances sure to usher in the spirit of the season (with even the weather “cooperating” by providing a slight chill in the air).

The celebration will run from 6-10 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 23 featuring a tree lighting ceremony, live music performances, food vendors, and more, the city said in an announcement.

Plaza Real East and West (the interior roads inside Mizner Park) will be closed to vehicular traffic beginning at 5 p.m.
