To create memories that will last well beyond winter, venture off the beaten path and explore the traditions of these alluring seaside towns. MOUNT PLEASANT Since the Mount Pleasant Christmas Light Parade first started more than a quarter century ago, according to the Town of Mount Pleasant’s Community Affairs & Marketing Division Chief, Nicole Harvey, “The parade has grown tremendously both in terms of participants as well as spectators. All of the effort that our community organizations and businesses put into creating amazing, beautifully-lit floats truly embodies the spirit of the holidays to produce an incredibly festive event that families will always remember. It is an event that is cherished by our entire community and the many people who visit to enjoy the spectacle of it all. Of course, all the happy children and smiling faces are just the best!” This year’s parade will be held on Sunday, Dec. 14.
