Holmes Beach Christmas Tree Lighting

The Holmes Beach Christmas tree lighting is a warm, family friendly kickoff to the island holiday season, held in early December at Holmes Beach City Hall. Families gather at dusk for the countdown as the community tree lights up, with holiday music, hot cocoa, cookies, and often a visit from Santa. It is a free, low key evening that captures the small town charm of Anna Maria Island in December. Kids can share their wish lists while parents soak in the seasonal atmosphere. Because the celebration is right in Holmes Beach, it is one of the easiest holiday outings for guests staying centrally on the island. The Sandbox Beach House is just minutes from City Hall, so you can walk or drive over for the lighting and be home at your private pool in no time, dog included.
