As we kick off the month of December, the feeling of Christmas is starting to SHINE all around us. Everyone seems to have an extra GLOW about them; they're practically BEAMING. The excitement from the holiday season always gets to me each year; it's like I hardly know how to CONDUCT myself. There's just so much to do and see, and the idea of missing a single opportunity to celebrate HERTZ my heart.
You may have caught on to all my light puns by this point. With so many fantastic holiday light shows in our area, I figured a round-up blog post would be a BRIGHT idea.
Winter Wonderland at the Beach
This fun festival, at Burroughs & Chapin Pavilion Place in downtown Myrtle Beach, will feature a walking path throughout the park's light displays with plenty of great photo ops. Each area is themed with different lights, some beach-themed and others more classically themed. Enjoy live music and entertainment nightly from Thursday to Sunday.
The Great Christmas Lights Show
This drive-through light show features over 2 million lights festively displayed along a 2-mile-long drive throughout the North Myrtle Beach Park & Sports Complex. Visitors will also experience 30 new animated figures and holiday scenes where the lights will come to life. Stop into Santa's Village for photos with Santa and Mrs. Claus, a petting zoo, Santa's Rockin' Christmas Tree, Fire Pits for S'mores, and even train rides.
Nights of A Thousand Candles
Every year during the holiday season, Brookgreen Gardens puts on a show of more than 2,800 hand-lit candles and countless sparkling lights throughout their historic sculpture gardens. Families can enjoy a warm cup of cider or hot chocolate and nightly entertainment. Gates open at 4 p.m. and close at 9 p.m. during Nights of a Thousand Candles. Tickets must be purchased in advance.
Conway Celebration of Lights
The drive-through light display runs along Marina Drive in Conway and features various holiday scenes. At the end is a Christmas Village with a train, vendors, and Santa Claus. The Conway Celebration of Lights is open Thursdays through Sundays from 5:30 p.m. until 10 p.m.
