Third Annual Strolling Lights Festival
2023-11-25 08:00 - 2024-01-02 17:00 | MI
Join the Crystal River Outfitters Recreational District as we kick off the holiday season with the Third Annual Strolling Lights Festival. This fun family event is a great way to get in the festive spirit.
This year, the cause is near and dear to the hearts of the customers and team of the Crystal River Outfitters Recreational District. If you have been in Coastal, Crystal River Outfitters and The Cyclery and have admired the amazing selections that we offer, a LARGE majority of this work is owed to our own Kelly Florip, our Crystal River Outfitters Recreational District Lead Buyer. She is constantly working her magic to ensure that our products and stores are ready to go and looking their best.
In August she was diagnosed with breast cancer for the second time in her life and has a major journey ahead of her with treatment and travel for this treatment. Kelly and her husband Nick also have two young girls Mabel & Mylah. Kelly is a ray of sunshine and a rock in our community. Therefore, this year the proceeds from The Strolling Lights Festival will benefit Kelly Florip & her family to help with medical and travel expenses needed for her care.
If you are interested in donating, please visit our website for more information.
Grab friends and family and stroll through The District to admire the festive and uniquely decorated trees! Stop by M22 Glen Arbor for a glass of wine and some M22 gear! Then head over to Coastal to shop all the great gift ideas, apparel and more!
