Goose Creek Gears Up for Its Annual Christmas Parade!
As the holiday season sets in, the cozy city of Goose Creek, South Carolina is buzzing with excitement! This Saturday morning, the streets will come alive with festive floats, cheerful bands, and joyous community organizations as the annual Christmas Parade rolls into town. Mark your calendars for 9:30 a.m. – you won’t want to miss this spectacular event!
Parade Route Details
The parade kicks off at the intersection of Old Moncks Corner Road and will weave its way down a long stretch of St. James Avenue, finally concluding at Marilyn Street. Whether you’re exploring the local shops or cozying up with friends, you’ll find the festive spirit everywhere as the parade makes its way through the heart of Goose Creek!
Heads up, though! To ensure everything runs smoothly, there will be some road closures. The Goose Creek Recreation Department has announced that Old Moncks Corner Road will be closed starting at 6:30 a.m., followed by more closures along the parade route at 7 a.m. This includes local favorites like Westview Blvd., Crowfield Blvd., Central Avenue, and several others leading right up to St. James Avenue.
Stay Patient, Parade Lovers!
As you’ve settled down to claim your spot along the parade route, don’t forget that after the big guy in the red suit makes his grand entrance, it may take a little time to reopen the roads. The organizers remind everyone to be patient and aware while Goose Creek Police Department works diligently to keep everyone safe and sound. Keep your holiday cheer intact; they will have the roads clear in no time!
Three Stages of Fun!
The excitement doesn’t stop there! The Goose Creek Recreation Department has set up three fantastic stages along the parade route to keep the entertainment flowing. You can catch performances in front of Publix, near the Masonic Lodge, and at 129 St. James Avenue by the strip mall entrance. It’s like a holiday festival rolled into one!
For all the parade enthusiasts positioned towards the end of the route, be prepared to wait a bit for the floats to reach your viewing spot. The organizers kindly remind everyone that it may take about 30 minutes for the fun to roll your way. So, grab a cup of hot cocoa, huddle together, and let that Christmas spirit build as you await Santa and his entourage!
The Magic of Christmas is in the Air!
As the countdown to the parade approaches, the whole town is decorated and buzzing with holiday vibes. This event brings together the community, businesses, and families for a day filled with laughter, joy, and a sprinkle of that holiday magic we all love.
