"We'll mark our fifth year of the Cheribundi Tart Cherry Boca Raton Bowl by once again playing our game on the Tuesday before Christmas," says Doug Mosley, executive director, Boca Raton Bowl, according to a press release. "It has become an annual holiday tradition in Boca Raton and Palm Beach County for our community's bowl game to land there and it will surely once again live up to its other name, 'Boca's Biggest Annual Outdoor Party.'"

Attendees should arrive early to catch all the excitement of game day. Pregame tailgating and free festivities at the Built Ford Tough Fan Fest and Family Midway, surrounding the stadium, kick off the fun at 3 p.m. Enjoy live music, family games and activities, food trucks, a beer garden, exhibition tents, giveaways and contests. And you don't want to miss the energetic face-off of bowl team marching bands and cheerleader squads.
