After three months of fun events and local celebrations, Christmas Island Style has once again come to a close. Marco Island has been celebrating Christmas Island Style since 1987. It’s a staple here on Marco and has become a part of our island culture. Each year the events grow bigger and better, bringing residents and visitors together and fostering community involvement.
The Annual Boat Parade took place on Dec. 10th. Local boaters decorated their vessels with lights

The celebration continued on Dec 17th, with “Cookies and Milk with Santa” sponsored by the Marco Island Parks and Recreation department. Santa and Mrs. Claus arrived at Winterberry Park in a helicopter, which incidentally travels much faster than a sleigh powered by eight reindeers. There they took pictures with the excited crowd of children and ate a few helpings of cookies and milk.
