This year's Holiday Festival of Lights Fun Run and Walk takes place on Wednesday, November 10th and Thursday, November 11th at James Island County Park. Registration is now open.
This unique event offers participants an extraordinary opportunity to see over 700 illuminated displays on foot before the popular festival opens to the general public and vehicular traffic. This two-mile, non-competitive run/walk starts at 6:45 pm and is offered on two evenings. Registration is now open at CharlestonCountyParks.com.
Following the Fun Run, families can enjoy all of the amenities that the festival offers, including gift shops, marshmallow roasting, train and carousel rides, and much more.
Advance registration is required for the Fun Run and Walk, and this event will sell out in advance. Interested participants are encouraged to register now before it sells out.
