Naples Christmas Events & Things to Do 2025

The biggest events include Christmas on 5th Avenue, the Magic of Lights drive-through display, and the Annual Holiday Festival & Tree Lighting at the Bayshore District. These draw locals and visitors alike for festive fun.

Naples blends coastal flair with holiday cheer—think palm trees wrapped in lights, “snow” flurries on warm evenings, and nautical-themed decorations. Holiday porch concerts and lighted banyan trees add to the local charm.

Third Street South and Fifth Avenue South are top spots for walkable light displays, while many residential communities throughout Naples also decorate impressively for the season.

Downtown’s Fifth Avenue South hosts the main holiday market, and you’ll find smaller artisan markets and craft fairs in shopping districts and neighborhoods across the city.

Strolling the lighted streets of Third Street South and Fifth Avenue South, attending the Annual Holiday Festival & Tree Lighting, and enjoying neighborhood light displays are all free. Many markets and concerts are also open to the public.

Families will enjoy the Magic of Lights drive-through, Christmas on 5th Avenue with its activities and Santa visits, and the “snow” flurries and live music found at various events throughout the season.
