South Carolina Prepares for Governor McMaster's Final Christmas Carolighting Ceremony

South Carolina's official Christmas tree has arrived at the Statehouse in Columbia, marking the beginning of the holiday season. Crews, with assistance from Dominion Energy, erected the towering evergreen on the Statehouse grounds. This year's tree is adorned with thousands of lights and hundreds of ornaments in anticipation of the 60th annual Governor's Carolighting ceremony. The event is scheduled for 6 p.m. on Sunday, November 22, on the north steps of the Statehouse. This annual tradition includes Christmas carols and performances by local artists, culminating in the ceremonial lighting of the state's official Christmas tree. This particular ceremony is expected to be the last hosted by Governor Henry McMaster and First Lady Peggy McMaster before they conclude their term in office. Attorney General Alan Wilson is slated to be sworn in as South Carolina's next governor in January.
