Let There Be Light: Luminaria on Sanibel and Captiva


 
Sanibel is a magical place all year long.
 
But the most magical time of the year is no doubt the Luminary Festival.
 
Candles line the streets, shops are open, food is free and good will prevails.
 
This coming week-end will be the most delightful time on both Sanibel and Captiva.
 
It will be the  28th annual Luminary Festival on Sanibel and Captiva Islands Friday, December 7th on Sanibel and Saturday, December 8th on Captiva. Luminary Festival is a community-wide holiday event that brings together residents, visitors, businesses and organizations, promoting goodwill and community spirit. Some of our visitors make early vacation rental  reservations especially for the event.
 
As you "travel the trail", look for the many fun places to stop and enjoy.
 
There will be a complimentary trolley service, Santa visits, photos with Santa, a live nativity scene, music and activities for the entire family. The  goal is to offer recognition to Island businesses and encourage local shopping while providing a fun-filled evening for family and friends.
 
Despite this being the 28th year for this sparkling and convivial event, there is always a way to make it new.
 
In addition to the lights and the food, there are bright moments to be found every where. 
 
One of our favorites is the sunset arias.  Yes, opera on the beach of Captiva.  These will take place at the beach of Tween Waters Inn on Captiva on December 8 from 4 to 7 p.m.    Just imagine: the setting sun, the sparkling gulf and beautiful music blending in operatic arias.
 
Can life get better than this?
 
We think not.
 
So come on down for this memorable experience on our two barrier islands!
