Hilton Head Tree Lighting 2017 with Santa, Rudolph
Hilton Head’s official 2017 Tree Lighting will be at the Arts Center of Coastal Carolina, Sat. Nov. 25, 3:30-5:30PM
Santa, Mrs. Claus and Rudolph will help kick off the holiday season at the Town’s official Christmas Tree Lighting, a fun-for-the-whole-family celebration complete with Christmas music, holiday crafts, food and a musical performance from the cast of Newsies.
Sponsored by the Town of Hilton Head, the festival will be held this Saturday, November 25, from 3:30 to 5:30pm on the Arts Center’s grounds.
Part of the festival is a Holly Day Art Market, so you can your holiday shopping early while supporting local artists who will be onsite with jewelry, art, crafts, Christmas treasures and more.
Activities for children include face painting, holiday crafts and photos with Santa that will be printed to take home. Apple cider and coffee from Starbucks, Wayback burgers, hot dogs and chili, plus fresh-made empanadas and tamales, along with other treats will be available to help keep festival-goers warm, toasty and happy. There will even be beer and wine for sale.
Mayor David Bennett will light the tree as the sun begins to set. In addition to the Newsies cast performance, other entertainment includes the Bluffton School of Dance and local celebrity-singer Candace Woodson & more.
Attendees are invited to bring a non-perishable food item and/or unwrapped toy, which will be collected for Deep Well, a local charity which provides items to families in need.
