Lighted paradeFree

Mount Pleasant Christmas Light Parade

Expand to see the parent tip

The 31st annual Christmas Light Parade rolls from Live Oak Drive down Coleman Boulevard to Patriots Point Road with lighted floats, bands and community groups.

Santa closes the parade riding a Mount Pleasant firetruck, which is the moment most little ones wait for along the curb.

Parent tip: Coleman Boulevard closes from 4 pm for lineup and the Ravenel Bridge off-ramp closes at 5 pm, so park on a side street early and walk in.

Plan your December

When each Mount Pleasant Christmas event for kids happens

Make it a Coleman Boulevard weekend: Santa and the market on Saturday, December 12, then a spot on the curb for the lighted parade on Sunday evening.

Looking further afield? Our South Carolina Christmas events for kids guide lists every confirmed event in the state, and we have city guides for Charleston, Summerville, Saint George and Myrtle Beach. The national search sorts every event by distance from your town.

A story for the drive home

A morning with Santa or an evening of holiday stories tends to end the same way: tired kids, a long drive and one more book before bed. Our picture book follows Rally the corgi on his first train ride to see his grand-paw-rents, and every page is painted by hand. If your family is spending December missing someone, it was written for that too. For the car, print our free corgi and train coloring pages.
