Where: Charleston Harbor
When: December 10, 2022
Enjoy the yearly Lowcountry tradition, the Charleston Holiday Parade of Boats, as this show of lights and colorful vessels goes from the Cooper River, across Charleston Harbor, toward the Ashley River. Some of the best spots to view the procession as it travels down Charleston’s waterfront are Liberty Square, Riley Waterfront Park, Charleston Maritime Center, and the Mt. Pleasant Memorial Waterfront Park Pier. You may also join in on the fun by decorating your own boat to sail through the parade! Either way you choose to participate, this family-friendly event may become your new, favorite holiday tradition.
Where: Crossing Park
When: December 24, 2022
Looking for an energizing way to celebrate Christmas in the Carolinas? The Hilton Head Island Jingle Jingle Bridge Run is the perfect way to start your Christmas Eve morning before the rest of the day’s festivities. This year’s race is celebrating 31 years of the Hilton Head Island tradition. The 5K and 10K courses will begin and end in Crossings Park, passing the beautiful Broad Creek on the Cross Island Expressway. In addition to Jingle Bells, each racer will be given a cozy, long sleeve Jingle Jingle Bridge Run T-shirt. After the race, there will be an awards ceremony with food, entertainment, prizes, and a special appearance from the one and only Saint Nick.
Where: Old South Carriage Company
When: December 3, 2022 – December 23, 2022
Hop aboard the carefully adorned carriage led by one of Santa’s helpers and experience the Holiday Sleigh Ride of your life. This joyful journey is sure to get you in the Christmas spirit and includes Christmas caroling to your favorite holiday tunes while you wander around downtown Charleston. The ultimate destination on this enchanting adventure is Santa’s stable, where you can share sweets and hot chocolate with Old Saint Nick, Mrs. Claus, and Rudolph. Don’t forget your camera so you can look back on these memories — it’s not everyday you get to ride in Santa’s sleigh!
Where: Downtown Beaufort
When: December 2, 2022 – December 4, 2022
Every year in December, Beaufort Holiday Weekend invites town residents together to celebrate the holidays. A Night on the Town kicks off the weekend with its annual tree lighting ceremony along with live entertainment, shopping, and holiday treats. On the following night, beautifully adorned boats sail across the water, illuminating the night during the lighted boat parade.

You’re sure to feel the holiday cheer at this family-friendly event!

This year, the 51st annual Bluffton Christmas Parade will take place in the town’s historic district. The holiday parade will feature a tree lighting ceremony, picture opportunities with Santa Claus, and a screening of a holiday film, this year being “The Grinch”. The decorations of over 20,000 twinkling lights turn the town of Bluffton into a winter wonderland, creating an inviting atmosphere to celebrate with fellow neighbors, friends, and family. Bluffton has turned a small-town parade into a vibrant and joyous celebration that future generations will cherish, perhaps for maybe another 50 years.
