Pineville 'Tis the Season Holiday Celebration & Tree Lighting

About this adventure

The Town of Pineville celebrates the holidays with its annual 'Tis the Season celebration at Jack D. Hughes Memorial Park, just minutes from the South Carolina border. The evening kicks off with the lighting of the town's majestic Christmas tree, accompanied by festive caroling from local elementary school choirs. Children can hop aboard a trackless holiday train for a tour around the park grounds, roast marshmallows over communal fire pits, create holiday crafts to take home, and share their wish lists with Santa and Mrs. Claus inside the heated park shelter. Complimentary hot chocolate and cookies are served to all attendees. Jack D. Hughes Park offers wide, smoothly paved walking loops that easily accommodate strollers and wagons. The park's playgrounds are open for younger children to play before the lighting ceremony begins. Clean, heated indoor restrooms with diaper changing stations are located at the main athletic center building, and ample free parking is available within the park grounds.
