WARMING UP FOR THE SHOW

South Florida’s beautiful beaches and glorious weather attract countless visitors during the winter season. Luckily for us, some of them are world-class performers. This time of year, traffic might be a little sluggish, but you can always look forward to enjoying a diverse and dynamic lineup of musicians, performers, writers and original thinkers at Festival of the Arts BOCA. The annual event, which runs from March 3-12 this year, includes appearances by the inimitable Sergio Mendes, South Florida favorite jazz vocalist Nicole Henry and the irrepressible Fran Lebowitz, as well as a screening of the remastered Disney classic “Fantasia” accompanied by full orchestra.
