The 42nd Annual Christmas Walk and Tree Lighting Ceremony

We arrived on December 1st for a week's stay to check it out.  We've never been to Naples.  Last night we set up our RV, and off we went into Town.  We got lucky, because we didn't know it was the Tree Lighting.

Christmas on Third Street South

Naples’ Christmas starts on Third Street South as the Mayor lights the official beautifully decorated Christmas tree during Christmas on Third when everywhere there are twinkly lights and wonderful red and silver decorations, music and bells, singing and dancing and delicious treats. Crowds cheer and children watch in awe as Santa arrives while the snow falls. The crèche is alive at Third and Broad and joy and happiness fill the courtyards and plazas. Snow falls every night for the following week and Christmas on Third – reminds everyone of the pleasures to come.

Here are some of the pictures we took last night.





We went to Roma's and had some wonderful pizza
