Summer is here, and Boynton Beach is ready to celebrate! Join us on Saturday, June 7th from 2:00 PM to 7:00 PM at Boynton Harbor Marina for the ultimate waterfront experience — Rock the Marina – Lionfish Derby & Fishing Extravaganza. Hosted by the Boynton Beach Community Redevelopment Agency (BBCRA), this FREE festival highlights the best of our coastal culture: music, marine adventures, family fun — and most importantly, our vibrant local businesses.
Whether you’re reeling in the big one, diving for lionfish, or just soaking up the sun with friends and family, this event is a chance to connect with and support the businesses that make Boynton Beach a true waterfront destination.
