Sanibel will shine brightly this season as the island comes together this Saturday for “A Very Sanibel Tree Lighting” on Saturday, Nov. 29, at 5:30 p.m. at Sanibel Community Park.
Following last year’s unforgettable tree lighting in celebration of the City of Sanibel’s 50th Anniversary, this newest island tradition has quickly become a beloved favorite for all ages!
Immediately following the ceremony, everyone will gather at the Sanibel Community House, where neighbors, families, and visitors will celebrate the season in sparkling Sanibel style.
As part of Sanibel’s ongoing 50th Anniversary Celebration, this now-annual event comes to life thanks to the 50th Anniversary Workgroup and our generous community partners.
The evening promises fun for all ages — with Santa and friends, live music, crafts and activities, food and treats, and plenty of holiday cheer.
The Garland of Goodwill will also be on display that evening, and there will still be an opportunity for the community to add their own personalized ribbon to the project.
Entertainment highlights feature a performance by Andrew Lipke’s Holiday Pops in the Tropics, made possible through the generous support of Tom and Linda Uhler, The Keys Duo, and the talented Sanibel students from Coastal Dance Company.
The BIG ARTS Choir will fill the air with seasonal sounds — with a few island-inspired twists. Guests can also enjoy a festive photo booth and visit special features like Angel Hair Barbie’s fairy hair and Timeless Ties Permanent Jewelry.
Several island businesses and nonprofits will host craft and activity tables for children, creating a true community celebration.
The Tree Lighting Ceremony begins promptly at 5:30 p.m. at Sanibel Community Park. The celebration continues at the Sanibel Community House until 8:30 p.m.
