The Lighting Of The Lake

Kick Off A Month Long Festive Celebration!

The Island of Lights Festival officially kicks off with the lighting of the tree and spectacular light displays at the lake in Carolina Beach. Located at the intersection of Atlanta Ave and Lake Park Blvd, this enchanting display is the perfect way to begin your holiday season.

The lighting ceremony takes place the day after Thanksgiving, and this year, there will be a special official light-up ceremony. Santa Claus will be on hand to hear your Christmas wishes, making it a fun and festive event for the whole family. The event is free to the public and begins at 6:30 p.m..

After the ceremony, feel free to take a leisurely stroll around the lake and enjoy the beautiful holiday light displays, all sponsored by the Island of Lights Committee. It’s a magical way to kick off the season and immerse yourself in the holiday spirit!
