Old Time Summerville Christmas Celebration!
December 1, 2020 @ 5:30 pm - 8:00 pm
Join us for the 2020 Old Time Summerville Christmas Celebration event on Tuesday, December 1 from 5:30 – 8 p.m. This event will be a modified version of the Town’s traditional tree lighting ceremony. We’ll have treats at Main Street Reads of course, as will many of our neighbors:
In an effort to provide a safe event that does not promote gathering the town will forego the ceremony and countdown of the tree lighting. This year the tree will be lit prior to the event starting. Attendees will be able to stop by anytime during the event to see the lights, enjoy the tree, and take photos!
The South Carolina Department of Commerce requires attendees over the age of 3 to wear masks at the event and practice social distancing.
Pictures with Santa (Hutchinson Square Bandstand): 5:30 – 7:30 p.m.
Bring your cameras and smiles for socially distant pictures with Santa. The line will close at 7:30 p.m.
