Calabash Christmas Tree Lighting

The annual Spirit of Calabash Parade and Christmas Tree Lighting is a favorite tradition for many locals! Located in downtown Calabash at Callahan’s of Calabash, the parade strolls down Beach Drive to River Road and the evening includes entertainment, community caroling, hot cocoa, children's letter writing, reindeer food stations, and, of course, Santa sightings!

The tree lighting takes places immediately after the parade on the main stage.
