Celebrate the start of the holiday season at Plyler Park with our Christmas Tree Lighting event!
Festivities include performances by the Carolina Master Chorale, Long Bay Symphony Brass Quintet, First Presbyterian Worship Band, Handbell Ensemble, Iglesia Refugio Choir, and special appearances from emcee Diane DeVaughn Stokes, Mayor Brenda Bethune, Poet Laureate Bo Bryan, Miss Winter Wonderland Brooke Vu, and of course, Santa Claus. Carolers from Second Stage Theater will be along the Boardwalk.
Attendees can enjoy free parking at the Pavilion Parking Garage starting at 4:00 p.m., a 100% chance of snow, festive decorations, and holiday lighting on the SkyWheel. Santa will be available for pictures in his tent after arriving from the North Pole.
This event is proudly covered by WMBF News, with special features like their weather truck where kids can create their own Winter Wonderland forecast. Check back for more seasonal surprises, as we’re working on adding stilt walkers, festive treats, and a ride special on the SkyWheel!
