Apalachicola Holiday Celebration the Day After Thanksgiving

Apalachicola will light up with cheer the day after Thanksgiving. Shops will be open late and the streets of downtown will be lined with luminaries and filled with holiday spirit. The sounds of carolers will echo through the streets filling the evening with the Christmas spirit. Santa arrives by shrimp boat at 4:00 p.m. at the City Dock on Water Street. He will hear children’s Christmas wishes while carolers sing.  In addition, the historic Orman House and Raney House will be open late and trimmed in holiday finery.  Docents in period costumes will lead visitors through the early history of the town.

Saturday, the celebration continues from 1:00pm-4:00pm. Santa arrives by fire truck and will see the kids and bring your favorite furry, four legged friends to visit him too.

Sunday, the Tree of Remembrance ceremony will be held at 3:00 pm. This respectful, non-denominational activity draws visitors riverside to honor loved ones during the holidays.

Join us for an old-fashioned Christmas celebration! For more information, contact the Apalachicola Bay Chamber office at (850) 653-9419.
