Thursday, October 8 · West Boca first

Hello, Boca Raton. This edition looks at a change worth knowing before your next Sunday outing, a hands-on indoor discovery and dining with actual menu prices. Our selected plans range from this Friday to November 5, with the requirements and unknowns spelled out before you commit.

Plan Ahead

Lynn Philharmonia: Halloween Spectacular  |  Saturday, Oct 31  |  7:30 p.m.  |  Wold Performing Arts Center, Lynn University, 3601 N Military Trail, central Boca  |  Advertised tickets $35 to $50; checkout fees not confirmed

Orchestral music listeners; age restrictions not stated. Guillermo Figueroa conducts music including Night on a Bald Mountain, Danse Macabre and Symphonie Fantastique. It is a seated-concert alternative to costume parties. Lynn also lists a separate November 1 performance at 3 p.m. Eastern Standard Time; choose the correct occurrence when buying. Buy through Lynn's date-specific Tickets links. Seat availability and runtime require confirmation; accommodation requests should be made at least five days ahead.

FAU football vs. UTSA  |  Thursday, Nov 5  |  8 p.m.  |  Flagler Credit Union Stadium, FAU's Boca Raton campus, east Boca  |  Ticket prices, fees and parking costs not verified

Football fans; check stadium admission policies for children. FAU's published schedule gives the Thursday home game an 8 p.m. kickoff and lists Paradise Appreciation and Vice Night themes. This is a late weekday outing rather than a Saturday game, so consider the finish time and next morning before committing. Game end time is not published. Use the official schedule's Tickets link to inspect current prices, admission and parking rules. No ticket promotion or savings claim is included until its full terms are confirmed.

Events

Friday, Oct 9

Rashomon on archival 16mm film  |  Friday, Oct 9  |  6:30 p.m.  |  Morikami Theater, 4000 Morikami Park Road, Delray Beach  |  Free for this screening; donations optional. This does not include a separate daytime gardens visit.

Japanese cinema viewers; film includes mature themes, age restriction not stated. See Kurosawa's film in Japanese with English subtitles, introduced by preservationist Katharine Labuda. The archival-film format makes this different from watching at home; the listed runtime is 83 minutes. Doors open at 6 p.m. and seating is first come, first served. Advance registration required via the event's Get Tickets link. Unclaimed tickets are released 15 minutes after showtime; recheck remaining availability before booking.

Fishing for Adults: Reel Relaxation  |  Wednesday, Oct 14  |  9:30 a.m.  |  Daggerwing Nature Center, Burt Aaronson South County Regional Park, West Boca  |  $10 per participant; 3% credit/debit service fee, none for cash or check

Ages 18 and older. Learn freshwater fishing basics, casting and fish identification with all fishing supplies provided. This weekday class lets a beginner try the activity without buying equipment first. Bring water, sun protection and closed-toe shoes that can get wet or muddy; end time is not listed.

Friday, Oct 23

Adults and children ages 8 and older. Start with a classroom look at bats and owls, then join a naturalist on a nighttime boardwalk tour.

The Local Lead

East Boca | A changed local destination

Boca Green Market has a different Sunday address

If Royal Palm Place is your mental map for Boca Green Market, update it before heading east. The Coastal Star reported the market's move on September 29; the organizer now lists Fifth Avenue Shops, 1954 NE Fifth Avenue, for its Sunday market from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Admission is free, with purchases separate.

Two different Sunday markets: Boca Green Market at Fifth Avenue Shops, 1954 NE Fifth Avenue, is not Boca Farmers Market at BRiC, 4950 Communication Avenue, Parking Lot H. Both list Sunday hours of 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., but the BRiC market runs year-round. The move described here concerns Boca Green Market, not the BRiC market.

The organizer lists produce, artisan breads, specialty foods, handmade goods and live music. Its current season began September 27 and runs through May 2. Sunday, October 11 is the next occurrence after this edition. The market describes itself as family- and pet-friendly; check the organizer's current notice before bringing a pet or planning around a particular vendor.

This is east Boca, not West Boca. The practical benefit is combining food shopping and browsing in one stop at the correct new address. We are not calling the move a new announcement today or promising that every advertised vendor will be there.

News Notes

Family discovery | Central Boca

An indoor outing that explores life on Earth and beyond

Life on the Edge opened September 26 at the Children's Science Explorium, 300 S Military Trail, and is scheduled through January 3. Its activities explore microbes, Mars missions and what light can reveal about distant places. The free-admission center is designed for ages 5 to 12 with caregivers; its posted hours are 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. weekdays and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekends, with listed holiday closures.

Local sports | FAU, east Boca

FAU receiver joins national award consideration

FAU announced October 7 that senior receiver Kelby Valsin was added to the Biletnikoff Award watch list, which recognizes candidates for the annual college-football receiving award. This is consideration, not an award win. The Owls have no game this weekend: the official schedule lists Army away on October 17 and Rice home on October 24, with the home kickoff still to be announced. Fans can use the bye week to check the next home dates rather than assume a Saturday game in Boca.

Deadline reminder | City of Boca Raton

Friday is the deadline to comment on the draft sustainability plan

Boca's draft Sustainability Action Plan sets proposed actions through 2030, and the city is accepting feedback until October 9. This is a reminder of the approaching deadline, not a new adoption or a repeat of the whole proposal. The city's page links the draft, presentation and input form; comments can be submitted anonymously. Residents and businesses interested in the city's priorities still have time to read the materials and respond.

Dining find | Central Boca

Boca Brasserie's menu gives families prices to plan around

At 5377 Town Center Road, Suite 200, Boca Brasserie's posted menu lists matzo ball soup at $9.95 and children's dishes, including cheese flatbread, chicken tenders and pasta with tomato sauce, at $10 each. These are regular menu listings, not a claimed discount or an opening announcement. The restaurant lists daily service from 11:30 a.m.; Thursday dinner runs to 10 p.m. Check the current menu, reservations and any tax or service charges before budgeting your meal.
