There's no better time of year to experience the charm and magic of Charleston than Christmastime. This year, we're continuing our new tradition by inviting you to get into the holiday spirit and join us in spreading a little “Joy,” “Hope,” and “Love” along the way.
Charleston's most storied residences have decked the halls. Storefronts and steeples are aglow with twinkling lights and garland. Dazzling holiday displays await you in Charleston's Historic District, and this year we’ve added additional “Hope” and “Love” displays around the Charleston Area. Take your photo with these larger-than-life installations, post it on your favorite social media platform with #SpreadTheJoy, and tag us @explorecharleston on Instagram & Facebook and @ExploreCHS on Twitter for a chance to be featured on our pages!
