A familiar holiday sight in downtown Columbia is once again adorning the front lawn of the South Carolina State House.
This year's state Christmas tree is a 35 ft. tall Norway Spruce. It arrived on Monday from the Henderson Tree Farms in Morganton, N.C. and was delivered by TimberTech. The spruce was purchased by the Columbia Garden Club, with support from the Garden Club of South Carolina.
The 58th Annual Governor's Carolighting is scheduled for Sunday, Nov. 23, at 6 p.m. on the North Steps of the State House. Those unable to attend the event in person, may watch the festivities live online via SCETV.
The ornate evening will feature a mix of traditional carols, performances by local artists, and the lighting of South Carolina's official Christmas tree. Davis Wash, Miss South Carolina 2024, will serve as emcee.
