Must-See Holiday Light Displays

When visiting Hilton Head Island during the holiday season, you’ll have plenty of great light displays enjoy. The whole island rallies together to spread holiday cheer by creating some truly spectacular displays. 

Perhaps the crown jewel of Hilton Head Island’s holiday celebrations can be found at Harbour Town Lights in Sea Pines. If you’re in town for November 25, stop by to attend the official tree lighting ceremony and an exciting concert! This enchanting display features a magnificent Christmas tree as its centerpiece, surrounded by twinkling seasonal figures that create perfect photo opportunities. The display remains lit through January first, offering plenty of time to experience its magic.

You should also be sure to add a stop at Shelter Cove Towne Centre to your itinerary so you can marvel at their stunning 28-foot Christmas tree. This impressive holiday beacon stands tall among the shopping center's festive decorations, creating an atmospheric backdrop for evening strolls or holiday shopping.

For a waterfront holiday experience, the Salty Dog Christmas Village offers an unmatched display of lights reflecting off the harbor waters. As dusk settles, thousands of twinkling lights create a magical atmosphere that captures the coastal charm of Hilton Head during the holiday season.

Another great option is the charming Compass Rose Park, where holiday lights transform this corner of Pope Avenue and St. Augustine Place into an enchanting evening destination. The park's intimate setting and beautiful decorations, including twinkling lights, provide a perfect spot for holiday photos or a peaceful evening walk.

In the spirit of giving, Fire Station #3 continues its beloved tradition of holiday illumination on November 25. This display not only brightens the night but also serves the community – visitors are encouraged to bring unwrapped toys for children aged one through 12 or non-perishable food items to support local families in need.
