Downtown on Main Street across from Star Line Dock #1, the Star Line Ferry will run a late ferry boat in the evening and will depart the island at 6:30 p.m.

The Mackinac Island Christmas Bazaar will also take place during the tree lighting. It's a fundraiser for the Mackinac Island Medical Center, St. Anne Catholic Church, Little Stone Church, Trinity Episcopal Church, and Mackinac Island Bible Church.
