The Beginning of the Holiday Season on Sanibel - Luminary!

Sanibel and Captiva Islands will sparkle with community spirit as the 24th annual Luminary Festival takes place on December 5th and 6th. As you travel the luminary trail you can stop at the many different retail plazas to browse the shops and restaurants, admire the beautiful Christmas decorations and enjoy a fun-filled evening with family and friends.
A tree lighting ceremony, live nativity scene, music and photos with Santa are also part of this proud island tradition. You can park at any of the plazas that have a trolley stop and enjoy complimentary trolley rides along the trail. You’ll conserve a little gas too, which is always a good thing! Sanibel’s Luminary is Friday, December 5th and Captiva’s is on Saturday the 6th.
We invite everyone to visit us and the other proprietors at the Olde Sanibel Shoppes (also known as the Over Easy Plaza) located at 630 Tarpon Bay Rd. In addition to offering complimentary snacks and beverages the center is also a community drop-off site for donations to the Harry Chapin Food Bank, which serves the entire Southwest Florida area.
Monetary contributions and donations of unopened, non-perishable food are accepted everywhere you see the “Feeding Families” poster. You can ring in the holidays and help those less fortunate at the same time; something that’s sure to fill your heart with joy. We hope to see you on Sanibel and Captiva next weekend!
