The Palm Beaches Sparkle with Holiday Splendor This Season


America’s First Resort Destination, The Original, The One, The Only: The Palm Beaches, invites visitors to explore treasured and timeless experiences and special events this holiday season, sure to be merry and bright in proper Palm Beach style. Enchanting tree displays, festive celebrations and photo ops with Santa provide plenty to fill your calendar. Read on about this year’s holiday highlights below and explore additional offerings by visiting ThePalmBeaches.com.


Holiday Events & Activities

When first debuted in 2012, the 100-percent sand tree, named Sandi was made with 400-tons of sand and basic multi-color lights. Now celebrating 10 years, Sandi is created from 700-tons of Florida fine grain sand and offers a fully synchronized light show, visible throughout Sandi Land and the City of West Palm Beach’s newly re-designed Centennial Fountain. The popular tree takes about a month to complete (from sand delivery to the official tree lighting) and 10 days are typically needed to sculpt the tree, while the lighting and music show take six nights to program. An estimated 1.5 million people have seen Sandi over the years.


Though the official Holiday Tree Lighting will take place on Thursday, December 2 from 6-9 p.m. in Downtown West Palm Beach, visitors can view Sandi through December 30, accompanied by nightly music and light shows, as well as additional activities such as mini golf, and special programming on select days.
