Come celebrate a Lowcountry tradition at Charleston's most beloved nighttime holiday event...the Holiday Festival of Lights! With over 2 million shimmering lights, this three-mile driving tour brings more and more light displays year after year with nearly 600 shining displays this year.
This year the park open up this spectacul
ar event on November 13, 2009 and will continue through January 10, 2010.
The Festival of Lights is much more than just a driving tour! Park the car, stretch your legs, and take in the new and exciting attractions custom-designed for holiday cheer. There are many celebrated attractions to be sure to see and do, including:
Stroll through Santa's Village and see the meticulously crafted holiday sand sculpture constructed by hand with 50 tons of sand. (The one here is from last year's Festival of Lights, but the photo really does not do it enough justice.) Then you can view the sugary structures entered in the gingerbread house competition
A couple of the kid's favorite things to do while at the Lights is to make s'mores by the marshmallow roasting pit, take a snapshot with Santa, and then hop aboard a train for an up-close look at the displays.
Wander over to Winter Wonderland where a traditional 18-animal carousel ride whirls you around and around. Don't miss the 4-by-8 foot holiday card designs created by local school students as part of a holiday art competition. These life-size displays of Christmas themes tower above you and are quite a 
sight.
Festival Hours are:
The entrance fees are $10 per vehicle for 1-15 guests, $25 per vehicle for 16-30 guests, or $100 per vehicle for 31 or more guests. Receive a $2.00 discount per vehicle (Monday-Wednesday only) with the donation of a canned food item, which will benefit the Lowcountry Food Bank.

Do you have plans for Thanksgiving morning already?
Well, if you're not already on cooking duty, then you could get out and run in the 32nd Annual Turkey Day Run & Gobble Wobble.
This run is hosted by the Knights of Columbus Rev. P.N. Lynch Council #704 and is held every year on Thanksgiving morning. More than 5,000 people participate in the race every year, and thousands of dollars are raised for various local charities.
And you don't have 
to worry about it interfering with your big meal plans for the day because the race starts at 9 am, leaving you plenty of time to get in all the fixin's!
This year, race week registration and packet pick-up will take place under a tent on Tabacco Road on the northeast side of Marion Square near the Embassy Suites Hotel.
The dates and times for registration and packet pick-up for the 2009 event are:
(Please note that there will not be any registration or packet pick-up on Sunday, November 22.)
If you need something for your active little ones, there is also a Children's Fun Run for children 10 and under at Marion Square directly after the 5K run.
There will be four different races set for the kids, all depending on age. The times for each individual children's race are:
After you've given it your all in the race, you can relax and mingle at the after-party. The Knights of Columbus will host a post-race party at Marion Square and in the area around the Hall. Food and refreshments will be available, and they will even have Plain Jane there to provide a little post-race, pre-Thanksgiving feast entertainment.
So get out of bed on Thanksgiving morning and head out for a great race for a good cause. An even better way to think about it is that you'll be making room for all the goodies to come that afternoon :)
