Experience the magic of the holidays in the heart of downtown Sarasota at Light Up the Night! On Friday, December 5, from 7–10 p.m., Selby Five Points Park will come alive with the glow of twinkling lights, joyful music, and the wonder of the season. Gather with friends and family to watch the annual Christmas tree lighting, enjoy the playful charm of falling snowflakes, dance under the stars to live music, and capture the night’s festive spirit with countless photo opportunities.
Let the holiday cheer sweep you away as The Rockefellers take the stage with their signature mix of funk, soul, and rock ’n’ roll. Their lively sound will set the tone for an evening filled with joy, laughter, and that unmistakable sparkle of the season. Every note, every smile, and every shimmering moment adds to the magic that makes Light Up the Night one of downtown Sarasota’s most beloved traditions—a true celebration of community, connection, and holiday joy.
This event is free and open to the public, made possible by the Sarasota Downtown Improvement District. Mark your calendars, bring your friends, and join us on Palm Avenue for a night where art, music, and community come together.
