“In the true spirit of the holiday season, BayPort is committed to fun and family-friendly experiences that bring our community together. That is why we are excited to be the presenting sponsor of this year’s Holiday Lights at the Beach for the sixth straight year,” said BayPort President & CEO Jim Mears.
