First tree-lighting at Memorial Waterfront Park
By Ashley Thiesen Caldwell | November 30, 2009
Mount Pleasant will hold its town Christmas-tree-lighting ceremony at Memorial Waterfront Park this year, officially flipping the switch at 6:30 p.m. Dec. 2 at the park near the foot of the Ravenel Bridge.
The 21-foot-tall tree, which features almost 600 Christmas lights and a star on top, will help “create a new tradition,” Mount Pleasant Mayor Billy Swails said.
“Santa will arrive on a bright red fire truck to listen to Christmas requests and distribute candy canes,” he said. “Entertainment will include local performers, and a Toys for Tots drive will be held at 7 p.m. in the Cooper River Room at the Visitor Center. Bring your children and good cheer and help us usher the Christmas season into our wonderful town!”
