Christmas on Third

46th Annual Tree Lighting Festival


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 46th Annual “Christmas on Third” festival, a month-long calendar of events for all ages.


Traditional Holiday Stroll

Third Street South Traditional Holiday Stroll offers a special treat. Dress festively to stroll along Third Street South, reveling in the holiday spirit with our Christmas Carolers, the sparkling lights and decorations. Start on your Christmas List. Stores will offer fun promotions and services and restaurants will create Holiday Stroll menus or cocktails. Dining reservations are encouraged.



Santa Paws!

Santa Paws Returns! On Saturday December 9th from 12-2 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. A professional photographer will be on site, capturing memorable photos.


Naples Snowfall

Join us throughout December for a family favorite, as Naples experiences a Christmas Snowfall on Third, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday at 7:00 p.m. during December.


Santa Needs Your Help

This year Santa is asking for everyone’s help in bringing The North Pole spirit to Naples and beyond. You can help Santa by taking a picture capturing your favorite North Pole on Third scene and posting it on social media with #ChristmasonThird to be entered into a drawing for a chance to win a $250 gift card from one of Third Street South’s restaurants or shops.
