Oz plays twice today at Sugar Sand
Oz at 11 and 1, a Sunday morning in the water that needs a reservation, and a court date that slid to September.
Sugar Sand Park Community Center stages The Wonderful Wizard of Oz today at 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. The theater sits at 300 S Military Trail. Tickets run $12 for adults and $9 for children, and buying ahead is recommended. Two showtimes on one Saturday means you can work around a nap or a soccer game. The 1 p.m. show is the safer bet if you are reading this over a second cup of coffee. It is the kind of morning that ends with a kid humming a song you already know by heart.
Police investigating a death near Park of Commerce
BocaNewsNow reported on Wednesday, July 29, that Boca Raton police are investigating a death near 6500 Park of Commerce Blvd. According to that report, police said a 38-year-old man was fatally struck during a domestic disturbance. Police asked anyone who saw what happened to come forward. That is the extent of what has been said publicly, and it is fair to leave it there. Park of Commerce is a working corridor of offices and warehouses, not a stretch most residents drive on a weekend. Anyone with information can call Boca Raton Police at 561-368-6201.
The Lotus e-bike case slides to September
BocaNewsNow reported on Thursday, July 30, that a new hearing is set for September in the Lotus e-bike case. Attorneys had asked for more time. The two West Boca defendants remain free on bond. That is the entire update: a date moved, nothing decided. Continuances are ordinary at this stage, and they rarely signal much about where a case ends up. Still, this one has held local attention, and the next real moment is now a month further out. If you have been following it, move the marker and wait.
A snorkel lesson in the water you live next to
Gumbo Limbo runs Family Fun Snorkel on Sunday from 9 to 10:30 a.m. at 1801 N Ocean Blvd. It is open to ages 10 and up, and an adult has to get in the water with any minor. Reservations are required, so this is not a walk-up morning. Residents pay $15 and nonresidents pay $19. Bring a snorkel, mask and water shoes, and leave the fins at home. Plenty of people live here for years and never once look under the surface a mile from the house.
Forty-five minutes under the hammock canopy
Tuesday from 10 to 10:45 a.m., Gumbo Limbo leads a guided trek along its boardwalk at 1801 N Ocean Blvd. The route runs through tropical hardwood hammock and mangroves, then ends at the observation tower. That tower is ADA accessible, which keeps the whole walk within reach for most people. The walk pauses for Intracoastal views through the mangroves. A guide can turn a wall of green into a list of names. The outing is short enough to finish well before lunch.
A week of camp that ends with a real show
The Studio at Mizner Park runs its Moana camp Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., for ages 6 to 12. Friday at 4 p.m., the kids perform what they built all week. Tuition is $475, and scholarships are available for families who ask. Five days is an odd but useful length. It is long enough to learn blocking and lines, and short enough that nobody burns out by Thursday. The Friday performance is the part that sticks. Ask any kid who has stood on a stage in front of family.
The airport board called a special meeting
The Boca Raton Airport Authority meets Tuesday from 1:30 to 2:30 p.m. at 903 NW 35th St., also listed as FAU Blvd. Special means the board set this one outside its usual rhythm. The city calendar gives the hour and the address and not much beyond that. If you live under the approach in the northwest quadrant, this is the room where airport decisions get made. One hour, mid-afternoon, on a Tuesday. Showing up is the only way to hear it firsthand rather than secondhand.
