Island Lights Festival happens tonight

The Chamber of Commerce shares news about tonight’s holiday event.

The San Juan Island Chamber of Commerce’s Island Lights Festival will take place tonight at 6:30 p.m. in downtown Friday Harbor. This kick-off event for the Friday Harbor Winterfest is presented in partnership with Island Rec and, of course, Santa Claus.

Our tree lighting will be a touch different this year and we will be resorting to how the Island Lights Festival was years ago. This is due to the sad demise of the big tree in Memorial Park. The Town will make the shape of a tree with twinkling lights and the colors will coincide with the Noel sign, which is managed by the San Juan Island Lions Club.

It will be a fun-filled evening when the community gathers on Spring Street between First and Front streets to await the arrival of Santa. We will have caroling while sipping some hot chocolate and coffee before he arrives to light the tree. Then it’s up to Brickworks for crafts with Island Rec and the opportunity to take pictures and selfies with Santa.
