The magic of the holidays returns to Manitou Beach with our annual Christmas at the Lake + Holiday Tree Lighting! Join us for a festive evening of community, lights, and cheer as the holiday parade kicks off from the Baptist Church, turns on Grove and then left on Main Walnut, and right on Devils Lake Hwy, ending in front of Phoenix Rising—where Santa arrives by sleigh to light the community tree! The Grinch float will stop in front of Michigan Gypsy. 🎁
Expect a heartwarming lineup including the Santa Lucia Girls Choir, local singer Shelby Lynn Howard leading carols, and a special appearance from The Grinch, who’ll be greeting guests at his photo spot in front of Michigan Gypsy. Kids can enjoy cookie decorating and art with Mrs. Claus (sponsored by LLLC), plus festive treats and photo ops from Ang + Co, Just a Lil Sweet Tooth, and the Faust House. Don’t miss the photo opp by the Manitou Beach Holiday Boat Display by Ang + Co.
Enjoy food and drink at Two Lakes Tavern with live music from Kevin Wolff (8–11pm), a full band and acoustic guitar. Enjoy apple cider and caramel whiskey.
Special thanks to our amazing community team for bringing the spirit of the season to life. 🌟
🎥 Yeti Groove Media will capture the evening by drone — stay tuned for our holiday highlight reel! 💡 Parade & Tree Lighting kick off at 6 pm. Bundle up, bring your holiday cheer, and celebrate with us!
