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. Dazzling holiday installations await you in Charleston's Historic District, and this year we’ve added additional “Hope” and “Love” displays around the Charleston Area. Join in the holiday spirit by:

  1. Take your photo with these larger-than-life installations
  2. Post it on your favorite social media platform with #SpreadTheJoy
  3. Tag us @explorecharleston on Instagram & Facebook and @ExploreCHS on X for a chance to be featured on our pages!
Explore Charleston at Christmas

The magnificent and oh-so "Joy"-ful displays can be found in some of Charleston's most iconic locations in the Historic District. Follow the map and the location names to find each!
