Don’t miss the following special events taking place on behalf of the Christmas holiday season -- Come on out and watch the Surfside Beach Christmas Parade on Saturday, December 10 beginning at 2 p.m. The parade will run down Ocean Boulevard in Surfside Beach. The popular Christmas performance by the Pawleys Island Concert Band under the direction of Carson Turner will take place on Dec. 13, 7 p.m. at Pawleys Island Community Church.

Nights of a Thousand Candles is definitely worth seeing if you have never been to Brookgreen Gardens in Murrells Inlet or if you have visitors coming over the holiday that you want to impress. Walk the paths with a warm cup of cider, hear the sounds of hand bells ringing, carolers singing, and celebrate the season with family and friends. An 80-foot-tall fir tree decorated with 70,000 lights will be lighted in ceremonial fashion at 5:45 p.m. every night. See the gardens come to life amid the soft glow of 5,500 handlit candles and sparkling lights from 3-10 p.m., Dec. 8-10 and Dec. 15-18.
