The 47th Annual Holiday Night of Lights will magically transform St. Armands Circle into your favorite Holiday destination on the Gulf Coast of Florida. Be a part of the celebration, as the Circle comes to life at the official kick-off to the holiday season.

Join in with our annual Christmas Carol Sing-a-long beginning at 5:30pm.
Once Santa arrives, he needs your help to countdown the final 10-seconds and illuminate St. Armands Circle with our 60 foot Christmas Tree!
From 6:30pm – 8:00pm, dress your best, and take your photos with Santa. And don't forget to mail your Letter to Santa, because we know you are all on the Nice List.
6:30pm - 8:30pm, stroll the Circle and enjoy the live musical performances and family crafts and activities.

Enjoy FREE family-friendly holiday entertainment, and activities, as well as special store promotions, and gracious hospitality provided by our many shops and restaurants. We recommend making your dining reservations in advance at one of our many delicious Circle restaurants.

A special evening for the young . . . and the young at heart.

Holiday Night of Lights is sponsored by Opal Properties (The Longboat Key Club, Lido Beat Resort, Cirque-St. Armands, Sandcastle Resort, and the Zota Beach Resort), Crab & Fin, Lynches Pub, Binjara Traders, Ivory Coast, Sahara, St. Armands Antiques, the City of Sarasota, the St. Armands Residents Association, and the St. Armands Circle Association. The City of Sarasota granted the 60 foot Christmas Tree to the St. Armands Circle Association in 2022. This grant was secured with the assistance of the St. Armands BID.

This event and all promoted activities are FREE for your family to enjoy.
We hope you will support our friends at Flight to the North Pole, a charity that provides financial and emotional support to terminally ill children and their families in Sarasota/Manatee Counties.
