Mount Pleasant Christmas Light Parade

Celebrate the magic of the season at the Annual Mount Pleasant Christmas Light Parade, one of the Lowcountry’s most dazzling holiday traditions! The festivities kick off at 5:30 p.m. with a brilliant fireworks show that lights up the sky and sets the tone for an unforgettable evening. From there, the parade rolls out from Live Oak Drive, making its merry way down Coleman Boulevard before wrapping up at Patriots Point Road. Along the route, you’ll experience the full sparkle of the season with marching bands, a Mount Pleasant Police Motorcycle show, and hundreds of glowing floats decked out with tens of thousands of twinkling lights.

And of course, no holiday parade would be complete without the big man himself, Santa Claus, arriving in style aboard a Mount Pleasant firetruck to spread cheer to all ages! Bundle up, bring your holiday spirit, and join us for an evening guaranteed to brighten your season in the most Mount Pleasant way! The latest updates about the status of this event will be posted to the Facebook Event Page.
