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.

Holiday Festivities
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.
What To Do In The Islands
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.
