Chamber announces ‘Silver King’ Christmas Walk

he Boca Grande Area Chamber of Commerce is continuing to plan for the Boca Grande Christmas Walk.

Representatives for Santa Claus have contacted the Boca Grande Area Chamber of Commerce to confirm that the bearded one will once again provide the celebrity star power for the annual Boca Grande “Christmas Walk” to be held Saturday, Nov.

The theme for this year’s event is a “Silver King Christmas.”

A spokesperson for Santa stated that Gasparilla Island with its quaint village, unique shops, fabulous restaurants and small town charm is one of Santa’s favorite stops.

“The big guy really loves to ride that fire engine and the children of Boca Grande have been especially nice this year,” the entity said.

The village will be decorated for the season and the traditional luminary candles will light the way for people as they stroll the variety of businesses shopping and socializing.

Businesses decorating their storefronts will compete for “Best Display of Theme” and “Most Original.”

Christmas Walk festivities will run from 5 to 8 p.m.
