Kick off your holiday shopping and fun at the Vista's 26th annual holiday street party! The entire Vista community will take part, with Gervais Street closed to traffic from Gadsden to Assembly streets, and Park and Lincoln closed from Lady to Senate.
Thursday, November 17th, 2011 from 5 - 10 pm.
The entire historic Columbia's Vista is participating in Vista Lights. Start by parking in one of our convenient garages and then stroll up Gervais to Lincoln to see all the festivities. Be sure to stop by One-Eared Cow Glass, The SC State Museum & the shopping center where Backpacker is located to see all that is going on there as well. Although they are further down Gervais there is still great things to see and do. See our map for a detail list of events.
Vista Lights is free to the public and offers a great way to kick-off the holiday Season! This year is the 26th year and it promises to be a fun filled night - Sarah Luadzers
Everyone loves a tree lighting and the Vista tree lighting promises to kick off the season! The traditional tree-lighting ceremony, will be held at 7pm. This year's spectacular lighting will be hosted my Mayor Steve Benjamin. You will find the tree located on the corner of Lincoln and Gervais Street outside of River Runner. Again, check our map for actual location.
Visitors are encouraged to arrive early, shop up an appetite and stay late. Just because the official celebration ends at 10pm doesn't mean you can't stay for some late-night entertainment and nightcap.
