Fire trucks, jazz musicians, elves, Girl Scouts, martial artists, mermaids, people on bicycles, pretty young women in convertibles and Jolly Ol’ St. Nick himself: Siesta Key Village kicked off the holiday season in grand fashion on the evening of Nov. 28.

The event was sponsored by the Siesta Key Village Association.
