Trinidad Elementary School's Craft Fair and the Indie Craft Show at Town Hall have coordinated with the event to create a town-wide holiday atmosphere, with plenty for the visitor to do even if the possible welcome rainfall prevents long walks on Trinidad Beach.

​    Each year this festivity has grown enthusiastically as businesses of Trinidad have drawn together to make it a very special day. Now the Trinidad Civic Club has taken the lead and given the day added meaning by asking local businesses to donate a portion of the day’s profits to the fund to restore and find a permanent home for the iconic Trinidad Lighthouse. It's traditional cliff abode eroded, necessitating its costly relocation. Everyone who participates in Holidays in Trinidad will be contributing to that worthy cause. For a schedule of the day, go to trinidadcivicclub.org.
