The City of Sanibel announced its 50th-anniversary celebration of the city’s incorporation to prevent overdevelopment.

According to the City of Sanibel, in 1974, a grassroots movement to prioritize nature on the island was highly favorably received by citizens.

The celebration will kick off on Tuesday with a City of Sanibel Time Capsule reveal led by Mayor Richard Johnson and the city council.

The 13-month celebration will run through the Luminary Holiday Stroll in December 2025, as the city plans to celebrate partnerships with island businesses, non-profit and faith-based organizations and resident groups.
