Islander Lights

A beautiful, long-running holiday celebration and campus-wide community gathering that lights up the university grounds. The main outdoor celebration is completely free to attend and features the annual campus Lighting Ceremony, an extensive holiday Arts and Crafts Market, local food vendors, and a special photo-op visit from Santa Claus. Attendees are warmly encouraged to bring a new, unwrapped toy donation to support the local Toys for Tots drive. The outdoor market and ceremony are immediately followed by the indoor "Sounds of the Season Holiday Concert," with tickets for the performance starting at an accessible $5.
