As the SanCap Chamber announces Friday and Saturday, Dec. 4 (Sanibel) and 5 (Captiva), as the dates for the 40th annual Luminary Holiday Stroll, it thanks Bank of the Islands (BOTI) for leading the charge in this year’s sponsorships as Presenting Sponsor.

One more Presenting Sponsor position remains at the $4,000 level. Other sponsorship levels include Gold at $3,000, Silver at $2,000, and Bronze at $1,000. Each level carries its own set of benefits and recognition for the sponsor.

A longtime island holiday tradition, Luminary magic lies in its candle-lined pathways leading to gaily decorated shops, restaurants, and organizations offering special discounts and treats. Activities will include a guest of honor, a petting zoo, Santa visits, live music, and complimentary surprises. The chamber will hand out a map of participating merchants that evening.

“Our goal is to offer recognition to island businesses and encourage local shopping while providing a fun-filled evening for family and friends. It is one of the community’s biggest and best annual events,” said John Lai, SanCap Chamber president and chief executive officer. “Thanks to Bank of the Islands and other sponsors, the long-celebrated tradition of community goodwill and holiday celebration will once again bring together islanders and visitors in a joyous burst of spirit across the retail landscape of Sanibel and Captiva.”
