While there may not be a white Christmas in Florida, Siesta Key has no shortage of holiday cheer. Siesta Key holidays boast beautiful turquoise waters and white sand beaches, illuminated with one of the most impressive displays of Christmas lights.
The Crystal Sands luxury condo rentals are one of the largest condos in Siesta Key! Steps from your beachfront condo or beach access villa, Crystal Sands puts you just two miles from the heart of the holiday events in Siesta Key.
Sarasota Glow Run
If you enjoy running, plan your trip early so you can register for the Sarasota Glow Run. One of the most fantastic holiday events in Siesta Key, the annual 5K run will take place on December 16th at Nathan Benderson Park in Sarasota from 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.
You can run or walk the lakeside course, pushing yourself to the sound of Christmas music. For those of you missing out on your white Christmas, there is a forecasted 100% chance of snow at the finish line to help motivate you to finish the race!
The race is free and offers all participants a t-shirt or tank top, a finish medal, a finish video, and snacks. The only thing that you will have to pay for is parking.
Selby Gardens Lights
Another one of the favorite Siesta Key things to do during the holidays is the Selby Gardens Lights in Bloom. From December 8th to January 3rd, take in the beauty of more than two million lights illuminating the gardens and walkways.
The perfect holiday photos await you and your family at the Selby Gardens! You can make an evening of it with food served from Michael’s on East Grill, fully equipped with a cash bar.

Light Up the Village
If you want to take your trip a little closer to Thanksgiving, the Light Up the Village and Holiday Parade is a must-see! With Christmas music, food, and cheer, this is a must for every family spending the holidays in Siesta Key.
Only five minutes away from the Siesta Key vacation condos at Crystal Sands, local businesses and groups participate in welcoming Santa to Siesta Key and kick off the holiday season!
Santa will be available for free pictures with children at the end of the parade. The first 250 children will even leave with a free gift bag! Come and join in on the fun on November 25 from 5:00 pm to 9:00 pm.
