It has grown over the years since to include food, live music, and a visit with Santa in the historic club building. It\u2019s the kickoff to the holidays in Mandarin and is followed by the Winter Celebration at the Walter Jones Park and the annual Boat Parade on Julington Creek.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The inaugural lighting in 2020 was billed as a \u201cBring on the Night, Bring on the Light\u201d and is now an annual tradition for Mandarin which encourages luminaria throughout the neighborhoods.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Mandarin Community Club is the oldest civic organization in Mandarin and one of the oldest in all of Jacksonville. First formed as the Liberty League in 1923, the club recently celebrated 100 years of service to Mandarin.
