Boca's got rhythm and the City of Boca Raton is cranking up the volume with its 4th Annual Battle of the Bands, set to electrify Mizner Park Amphitheater on August 9. Local talent, grab your axes and drumsticks – it's your time to shine, or face the music, as the application window flings open now through June 21, according to the city's webpage.

This sought-after competition isn't just for the well-tuned veterans; strumming and drumming hopefuls fall into two brackets – the Under 20 category for the fresh-faced future of rock, and the experienced 20+ group – all battling for bragging rights and a sweet $2,500 cash prize, the City of Boca Raton's announcement details. To get a spot on the coveted stage, bands need to be keyed up with a demo video showcasing their best live jams – no slick music videos need apply – and send it through the digital waves of YouTube or Vimeo.

But wait, there's more – accompanying the sonic showdown is the Young Entrepreneurs Market, where Boca's enterprising youth, ages 13-20, can strut their business acumen, sling their wares, and pocket some hard-earned cash, all while the battle rages on from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. Desiring participants can cast their lot for marketplace stardom with applications due the same day as the bands – June 21, as the city's webpage informs.

The City of Boca Raton, home to five miles of pristine beaches, parks aplenty totaling 1,650 acres of play space beckoning residents and visitors alike, promises this event as part of a festooned calendar of community events, celebrating local flair and talent all year round and for all this and more, event details come courtesy of the City's eager hands at the Recreation Services Department. Smack dab in the middle – the Mizner Park Amphitheater, a hub for the city's buzzy social scene – is where it's all hitting crescendo on that mid-summer's night and for the full scoop on this and other happenings, Boca's residents are encouraged to surf over to www.myboca.u s/CommunityEvents.
