Prepare to welcome the holiday season, Hilton Head Island! As the festive period draws near, Harbour Town becomes a bright spectacle with the return of Harbour Town Lights 2025. This cherished annual occasion aims to illuminate the island and unite our community in a celebration of happiness, fellowship, and the spirit of generosity. It is more than just an attractive exhibition; it is a cherished tradition that marks the start of the holidays for many locals and visitors, creating enduring memories for families each year.
Harbour Town Lights has become a symbol of holiday cheer on Hilton Head Island. It is a time when the harbour area comes alive with a brilliant display of lights and festive decorations, creating a magical mood ideal for making holiday memories. The occasion serves as a lovely reminder of the season’s warmth and kindness, fostering a sense of community we all value. If you are a long-time resident or new to the island, this custom provides a friendly greeting and an opportunity to experience the magic of the holidays in a truly unique location.
Set your schedules because Harbour Town Lights 2025 will be shining brightly every day from November 28, 2025, through January 1, 2026, between 7:30 PM and 10:30 PM, located centrally in Harbour Town at 149 Lighthouse Road. The primary feature is, naturally, the impressive, tall Christmas tree, surrounded by a charming collection of illuminated seasonal figures, perfect for family photographs. The official tree lighting ceremony starts the celebrations on November 28th, followed by a highly anticipated performance by local favourite, Gregg Russell.
In addition to the brilliant lights and cheerful music, Harbour Town Lights embodies the spirit of giving. Visitors are invited to bring canned goods or new, unwrapped toys to place in the “well” near the Liberty Oak stage, with all contributions benefiting the Deep Well Project, an essential local charity. This touching effort ensures that our shared kindness significantly improves the lives of those in our community who require assistance. We extend our sincere gratitude to our generous sponsors: The Sea Pines Resort, Harbour Town, Encore Entertainment, The Greenery, Inc., The Deep Well Project, and the Crazy Crab, whose backing makes this wonderful occasion possible.
