Every year on the Friday following Thanksgiving, Tween Water's Inn hosts one of the holiday's most anticipated events. The annual lighting of their Christmas decorations. Look out Clark Griswold, their may not be any lights left for your house!

Starting at 5:30 islanders gather at Tween Waters by the Gulf of Mexico for food, drinks, caroling, live music, and the lighting of the Christmas decorations. Just after dark, a fireworks display on the beach is enjoyed by all.

Hop on the S Car Go Trolley for a free ride to the Village for more live music and celebrating. Captiva Island Christmas Festivities are an event to attend and fun for the whole family.
