Sunset Beach Community Association

Christmas Eve Luminaries has been a cherished Sunset Beach Tradition for decades.  As the sun goes down on Christmas Eve, the streets come to life with a magnificent luminary display. During the day on Christmas Eve volunteers place 2400 luminaries along the streets of Sunset Beach. This is a VOLUNTEER effort.  The SBCA provides the supplies, volunteers line the streets with luminaries.  We NEED VOLUNTEERS. If you would like to volunteer and participate in our beloved tradition please contact us for a street assignment.  This year we will be using LED Candles.  If you would like to Volunteer for a street or make a donation towards supplies please contact Julie Cole at 813-361-6367 or [email protected].  If you are new to the neighborhood and would like to participate we welcome you!
