Downtown Fort Walton Beach will host its Holiday Market and Light Up the Night Tree Lighting from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 28, at The Landing, with more than 100 local vendors, live music and a visit from Santa and Mrs. Claus.
Eglin Federal Credit Union is presenting the event.
Vendors will offer handmade goods, locally sourced products, unique gifts and holiday items, according to the release, which promotes the market as a chance to support small businesses and get a jump start on Christmas shopping.
The day also will include food trucks and cookie decorating, with live music playing throughout the day.
The Landing has all-new Christmas displays this year, including new lighting, a new tree and a Santa’s Workshop, according to the city.
The Fort Walton Beach Community Chorus will carol during the countdown to the tree lighting, which is scheduled to begin promptly at 5:30 p.m.
The city calls the lighting “the perfect finale to an incredible day downtown” and invites families and friends to watch Downtown Fort Walton Beach light up for the holiday season.
