Following a two-year pause due to Hurricane Ian in 2022, the Luminary Stroll returned on Friday, Dec. 6, as a community-wide highlight for the City of Sanibel’s 50th Anniversary, which included a decorated tree with a big ’50’ on top at the Community Park. Activities included Santa Claus, live music and special treats at participating merchants along the Luminary map.
