Attend the Annual Holiday Festival of Lights Event in Downtown Cape Coral
One of the best things about booking your vacation to Cape Coral now is that it gives you plenty of time to plan for Christmas festivities, such as the annual Holiday Festival of Lights. This local holiday event is one we look forward to every year and is perfect for those visiting earlier in December. Put on by the Cape Coral Chamber of Commerce, this family-friendly event is free to the public, and often draws locals and visitors alike. Take the kids to get a picture with Santa, zip down the snow drift slide, and let the little ones ride the Tiny Tots train around the vibrant holiday wonderland. A must-attend event if you visit during this time, you’ll find this year’s festival is on Saturday, December 3rd, 2022!
