Holiday Festival of Lights Offering Dragon Boating On Select Nights

On select evenings this holiday season, Charleston County Parks is offering a terrific opportunity to view the Holiday Festival of Lights at James Island County Park from a whole new perspective – from the cockpit of a dragon boat!

As the sun goes down and the lights come on for the evening, participants will enjoy an on-the-water introduction to the ancient sport of dragon boating, from 4:30 pm to 6 pm. They will also get an up-close and unique view of some of the most iconic light displays at James Island County Park.

Experience is not necessary. After the paddle is complete, guests will also enjoy a tasty hot chocolate and have the opportunity to enjoy the rest of their evening at the Holiday Festival of Lights.

Dates the dragon boat program will be offered are select Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays throughout the Holiday Festival of Lights: Nov. 13, 14, 14, 20, 21, 27, 28, 29, Dec. 4, 5, 6, 11, 12, 13, 18 and 19. Registration is available at this link.

The program is offered for ages 10 and up. Ages 10-15 must be accompanied by a registered chaperone. Registration fees of $30 per person includes dragon boating and day-of Holiday Festival of Lights admission. Advance registration is required and on-site registration will not be available.

The Holiday Festival of Lights will be open every evening from Nov. 10 – Dec. 31, 2023, from 5:30 to 10 pm nightly.
