The holiday season is a special time of year for a variety of reasons. From gifts and decorations, to cheesy Hallmark movies and family gatherings. It may seem as if the season to be jolly can’t get much better, but if you happen to be spending the holidays in Cayman this year, there is even more to look forward to. Luckily for you, the month of December is stacked full of events that the whole family can enjoy.

- Christmas Night Market at Anchor & Den December 20
The Night Markets at Anchor & Den are always the highlight of the week. Entrance to these events are free, but you can purchase food and beverage tickets to enjoy throughout the evening.
