Holidays in the Lowcountry

it may not get very cold in the lowcountry during the holiday season, but there are plenty of activities around town to put you in the spirit!

holiday festival of lights

James Island County Park turns into a magical light show for the holiday season! You cruise through the county park to see all of the shimmering light displays. Park at “Santa’s Village” to find cute shops, hot cocoa + s’mores, attractions for the little ones and a walking trail!

miracle on market street

The weekend before Christmas, take a stroll down Market St. as local businesses + restaurants transform the street into a European style holiday market. You can see live performances, enjoy yummy food and drinks, and get that last minute shopping done!

aquarium aglow

Throughout November + December you can see the SC Aquarium transformed for the holiday season from 5:30 - 9:30 PM on select dates. There will be thousands of lights, interactive displays, and even beer + wine!

There’s even more to do around the Lowcountry during the holiday season, but these are our top picks!
