Experience the spirit of the Holidays in the magical, natural beauty of the Islands. Tree lightings and holiday markets, as well as lodging and dining specials can be found on Lopez, Orcas, and San Juan Island.
In Lopez Village, a holiday tradition brings the town together every year in the Village for cookies, cider, and caroling. Enjoy small-town charm and island hospitality at its finest at the Village Lighting ceremony.
In the Village of Eatsound, stand in awe as the 20-foot evergreen is lit with hundreds of lights and the community celebrates the beginning of the holidays at the annual Tree Lighting.
In Friday Harbor, find local art & gifts at an old-fashioned holiday market, enjoy a holiday concert, and see the Friday Harbor Christmas Tree Lighting! Carolers fill the air with holiday cheer.
Snug firesides, uncrowded shops, and artisan gifts bring sparkle to a winter getaway! The holiday season in the San Juans is a bit like a Hallmark movie, with small-town traditions, locals greeting each other on the street, and time to reflect on what matters most. This season, celebrate with a winter forest hike or walk on a stormy beach, a great meal, and holiday spirit with friends new and old.
Fall through winter is the perfect time for quiet strolls on the beach, spa days, sipping local wines, and savoring delicious bakery treats and island-grown cuisine. Spend some time exploring island culture & history at the museums, meet local artists at a gallery, browse bookshops, or relax by the fire.
