Christmas Lights Scavenger Hunt
The PSLinLights Scavenger Hunt is another great activity for local residents and visitors. Starting December 2, seven illuminated sandhill crane decorations will be hidden across the city at or near well-known landmarks and parks. To join, simply follow the clues posted weekly on the City’s social media pages.
Hints will guide participants to the crane locations, with two clues released each week through December 23. Once you find a crane, snap a photo and note the location. Upload your photo through the designated link, which goes live on December 2.
Participants have until January 6 to submit their entries. Finding just one crane and submitting its photo makes you eligible for a $25 gift card. Those who locate all seven cranes will be entered into a random drawing for a $100 gift card. Winners will be announced on January 10.

The Christmas tree lighting ceremony will be on December 7th from 2 PM to 10 PM. The event will feature a carnival, food trucks, and plenty of vendors for holiday shopping. After the tree lighting, attendees will enjoy fireworks. Live music will be available from 7 PM to 10 PM.
Fairgrounds Festival of Lights
The Fairgrounds Festival of Lights at St. Lucie County Fairgrounds is a must-see event on the Treasure Coast. Running from Thanksgiving night through December 29, this inaugural event offers a magical drive-thru light experience paired with many festive activities. Tickets cover a carload of up to eight people, and the mile-long light trail is enough to stay captivated and not bore little ones.
Santa’s Village, open Friday through Sunday evenings until December 22, offers free photos with Santa (using your own device) and a chance to drop off letters to the North Pole. There’s a petting zoo, reindeer encounters, and an animal nativity.
Tickets are $25 per car in advance and $30 at the gate through December 22. From Christmas Day onward, prices drop to $15 online and $20 at the gate. Purchasing tickets in advance saves money and avoids long lines. Santa departs after December 22, but the drive-thru light trail will stay open for late-season visitors.

The Port St. Lucie Christmas House was once a go-to spot for Christmas lights in Port St. Lucie. As of last year, the 15-year tradition was halted because of physical, financial, and emotional stress.
