Holidays on Amelia Island: November 25 to December 31, 2026

Holidays on Amelia Island runs November 25 through December 31, 2026 with lights, decorations, and events across the island and downtown Fernandina Beach.

  • When: November 25 to December 31, 2026
  • Where: Islandwide, Amelia Island and Fernandina Beach
  • Cost: Mostly free, some ticketed events

What to expect

Downtown Fernandina strings up for the season, shops extend hours, and the calendar fills with markets, concerts, and the Dickens on Centre festival in mid-December. The island does Victorian charm without trying hard, mostly because the buildings are actually Victorian.

Before you go

The season peaks around Dickens on Centre, December 10 to 13, when lodging books solid. Early December weeknights give you the decorated streets with room to move.
