More than 200,000 holiday lights in musical synchronicity. The colorful lighting of a majestic, 30-foot Christmas tree at the threshold to the Gulf of Mexico. Live holiday music. A spectacular fireworks show on the beach. Laser lights. Even real snow falling from the palm trees. All attended by a thousand or more holiday loving folks — grandparents, parents, children and grandkids. And get this: it’s all yours to enjoy when the Official Beach Resort of Captiva Island — and its parent corporation, Sanibel Captiva Beach Resorts — extends a hearty and heart-felt thank you to all of our guests from around the world.

*Please note: The 2021 Tree Lighting Celebration is no longer open to the public due to COVID restrictions. It will be completely free to overnight guests and those with restaurant reservations. Make a Reservation at Old Captiva House or Crow’s Nest below!
