Holiday festivities have already begun on Third Street. Third Street South, Naples’ historic and iconic downtown shopping and dining district, celebrates the holiday season with its 48th Annual “Christmas on Third” festival, a month-long calendar of events for all ages.

Naples Snowfall and Christmas Music

The Christmas Joy continues throughout December with live Christmas music every Thursday and Friday evening 5-8 p.m. and the original Naples Snowfall Thursday, Friday, and Saturday at 7 p.m. Stores will be open until 7 p.m.

Third Street has become an Official North Pole Mail Delivery District

Official North Pole Mail Stop! November 25 – December 23

This holiday season, magic is in the air—and the North Pole Elves have officially named Third Street South a North Pole Delivery District! Children can pick up official “Letters to Santa” at participating shops throughout the neighborhood. Once their wishes are written, sealed with holiday cheer, and sprinkled with a dash of imagination, they can post them in one of Santa’s official mailboxes—located at Fleischmann Plaza and Santa's Workshop near Sea Salt. After Santa makes his list (and checks it twice), one lucky boy or girl will receive a special surprise from the Elves—delivered in true Santa style. Because magic happens when you believe, and write with care. Join us in celebrating this festive new tradition—bringing wonder to the season and smiles to little faces across Third Street South. Letters will be available in select retail stores throughout the district.

Santa Paws!

Saturday December 13 | 1-3 p.m.

Santa Paws Returns! On Saturday December 13 from 1-3 p.m., Santa and Mrs. Claus will be available for photos with your furry, four-legged, and feathered friends. Bring your pet on its leash and pose with Jolly Old St. Nick for a treasured memory. The PawTogrophers will be on site, capturing memorable photos at Santas Workshop located near Sea Salt Restaurant.

Individual restaurants will be offering special menus, live music, and other festivities for the evening, SNOW along Third Street South will happen at 7 p.m.  Please check with individual restaurants for promotions and reservations.
