About this event
Kick off the holiday season at Destin Commons with the annual Santa's Arrival and Holiday Tree Lighting ceremony. The open-air shopping center transforms into a festive wonderland as crowds gather to count down the illumination of the towering Christmas tree, complete with a special appearance by Santa Claus himself. Enjoy holiday music, warm treats from surrounding restaurants, and photos with Santa before he settles into his seasonal home at the Commons. A beloved community tradition for Destin families — arrive early to secure a prime viewing spot near the tree for the lighting countdown.
