Sandi Lights Up Downtown West Palm Beach for the Holidays
If you haven’t had the pleasure yet, then it’s time to meet Sandi, the world’s only 35-foot, 700-ton holiday “tree” made of sand. Sandi stands at the heart of the West Palm Beach Great Lawn during the holiday season, and is truly a sight to see.
A Tree Lighting event, from 6 to 10 p.m. on Thursday, December 4, will kick off a month-long series of Holiday in Paradise activities taking place in the area. Many of Sandi’s familiar friends will be back, including Ferris, the 50-foot Ferris wheel, a flock of her sand-sculpted companions, a giant sand pirate ship, and a 50-ton sand bar where children can play.
A host of fun-filled festivities and events will include nightly synchronized music and light shows, Sandi and Santa’s Annual Breakfast on Dec. 8, Clematis by Night with live music on Dec. 12, Screen on the Green on Dec. 13, the Aloha Islanders Tropical Holiday Spectacular on Dec. 15, live jazz on Dec. 18, a party band on Dec. 19, and a New Year’s Eve celebration on Dec. 31. The West Palm Beach Great Lawn is at 100 N. Clematis St. in West Palm Beach.
Looking for additional fun? Bring the family to Winter in Paradise, a free festival taking place from 5 to 9 p.m. on Saturday, December 6, at Heart and Soul Park, 825 N. Rosemary Ave. The night will include dazzling decorations, local artisans, food vendors, and live music by N2Nation: The Sounds of Motown & More.
