The Apalachicola Bay Chamber of Commerce and the Apalachicola Business Association has planned a host of holiday season activities for the Apalachicola community.
Beginning on Nov 28 from 4:00 – 8:00 PM the Friday after Thanksgiving, also known as “Black Friday”, the start of the Christmas shopping season, there will be a tree lighting celebration at the city’s Christmas tree in downtown Apalachicola. Santa will arrive by shrimp boat and be available for photo opportunities with children of all ages and I will be on hand around dusk to light the Christmas tree. The downtown businesses are making plans to be open until 8:00 PM that day and the Raney House Museum will begin its Festival of Trees.
On Saturday Nov 29, Santa will be making a return visit from 1:00 – 4:00 PM to help spread more holiday cheers and local residents and visitors will once again gather around the Christmas tree at dusk for the lighting of the Yule Log.
Then at 3:00 PM on Sunday, Nov 30, Big Bend Hospice will hold a non-denominational Remembrance Ceremony at the Christmas tree and everyone is encouraged to attend.
On Saturday, Dec 6 from 10:00 AM – 4:00 PM, there will be a Holiday Fresh Market setup where you can purchase hand created Apalachicola specialties from fresh seasonal wreaths to vintage glass bead jewelry as a holiday gift for someone special.
