FLORENCE, SC – The Annual City-County Christmas Tree Lighting will be held on Friday, December 5, 2025, at 5:30 pm in the Andrew H. Griffin Plaza, located at 146 S. Dargan Street (next to Wholly Smokin’ Restaurant). This marks the 32nd year that the two organizations have come together for the time-honored tradition of lighting the City’s Christmas tree and spreading holiday cheer to the Florence community.
The public is invited to attend as we kick off the holiday season with the lighting of the tree, followed by lots of festive fun at the Downtown Development Corporation’s Downtown Christmas Magic until 8:30 pm. The Holiday Music & Light Show, sponsored by Duke Energy, is also bringing the sights and sounds of the season and will run through December 31st from 5:30 pm – 10:00 pm each evening (weather permitting).
