Too late to experience the Festival of Lights now, but there's always 2022!!! We have been attending the past 4 years and it has been awesome every time. Entire family looks forward to it along with our annual out of town guests. In the off season, countless outdoor things to do. Just go, bring your dog, kids, bike, fishing gear, RV and walking shoes.

We came here for our day Trip on Christmas Eve and let me tell you that this was the highlight of our day! There was over 4 million decorated Christmas lights on the park. We went to the Christmas village first and parking was pretty easy. We did went in early though or else parking will be difficult to find. There was alot of stuff to do on the village. There was rock climbing, food stalls, carousel, train rides, and shops. Staff were great as well. Secondly, we drove the Christmas Lights 3 mile trail and it was magical! If you have kids, this is a must. There are themes such as planets, toy theme, and animal theme, etc. We drove about 3 times around it, and it still are a equally amazing. This place is a must for Christmas.

Holiday Festival of Lights has a delightful light display and cheery Christmas music. Definitely stop at one of the parking lots and walk the inner circle to view more lights or take a train ride. Fun for all ages.

We came for the holiday lights. It's our first Christmas in Charleston and we found out new holiday light tradition. It was beautiful! I recommend taking the walking path after you drive through. We also took our daughter on the carousel and she loved it. Really great family event.

Questions & Answers

When is crabbing season begin?

Nantita Phangkham | Nov 17, 2021
Chris Slygh | Nov 18, 2021

There is no season for blue crabs in South Carolina. You will not have to wait for the DNR to open the gates and allow crabbing in SC. The only thing that is going to prevent you from pulling in crabs is the water temperature.

I saw in the guidelines that alcohol is only allowed in designated areas, with an approved application. Will I need an approved application to have a beer at my site?

Chris Lee | May 17, 2019
Chris Charest | May 18, 2019

I believe that rule is meant for day use rental sites. At state parks no alcoholic beverages can be displayed at any time but this is a county park.
