Easley to Light Christmas Tree November 30

Easley will ring in the Christmas season on November 30 with a Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony

City Administrator Fox Simons said the tree will be lit at 7pm in front of City Hall. 

The festivities begin at 5:30pm that day and will include live entertainment and horse-drawn carriage rides.

Easley’s downtown merchants will be holding Open Houses during the event.

The following day, Saturday, December 1, the Easley Christmas Parade will be held.

The parade begins at 10am.

Parade registration forms can be found here.

The final parade lineup will be announced November 29.

Simons wanted the public to be aware of the parade’s new route this year.

Due to construction at the former Easley High School site, the parade will begin at the Easley First Baptist parking lot.

“Please be patient with us,” Simons said. “There’s going to be problems with this route. It’s not the preferred route, but it’s the best we could do under the circumstances we’ve been dealt with.”

At the end of Monday’s City Council meeting, Mayor Larry Bagwell announced that Dr. Hubert Bower will serve as the parade’s Grand Marshal.

“He’s a marvel,” Bagwell said of the longtime surgeon.
