Colonial Lake Tree Lighting

Kick off the holidays with a magical evening on Colonial Lake. The electric Christmas tree, located in the middle of the lake, will be all lit up at sundown, but the fun doesn't stop there—a parade of food trucks will be on site to dish out hot cocoa and all sorts of goodies, and a live DJ will be spinning your favorite holiday tunes all night long. Bring the whole family to this laid-back, festive event, sure to get all of Charleston in the Christmas spirit. Colonial Lake, 46-54 Ashley Ave. Friday, 5:30pm. Free.
