Light Up The Basin November 25, 2011
Downtown Copperhill / McCaysville
Highway 5 at Highway 60
Young and old are invited to help throw the switch to ‘Light Up the Basin’ for the holiday season. Local communities coordinate their Christmas Lighting Ceremonies in a single evening of celebration. The evening begins at 6 pm, at the McCaysville Branch of United Community Bank, where the Mayor helps light McCaysville’s official Christmas Tree. A procession of Christmas carolers then parades by candlelight to the Copperhill Branch of the BB&T Bank, for another tree lighting ceremony. Participants then make their way to Miners Park, to help the Mayor light Copperhill’s Yule tree. The crowd then moves back down Grande Avenue for the lighting of the wreath of the Old Steel Bridge. Following the tree lightings, celebrants can visit Santa at Christmas Is Here!
