The first Sunday in December is the date of the annual Christmas Tree lighting on the Childrens’ Lake.

Hundreds of luminaries line the lake and crowds gather near the Gazebo to watch Santa Claus row his boat across the lake to greet the children.  A Christmas Tree that is set afloat near the Memorial Clock Tower is lit at this time.

Even on the coldest days, the warmth of the town and the people make this night one of the more memorable holiday experiences.  If there is snow on the ground – I consider this a holiday “Must Do!”

There is no charge for this event.

On the first Saturday in June, this juried Arts and Crafts show is held along the Children’s Lake on Front Street in Boiling Springs. Craft makers, organizations, and food vendor booths line the street from the Memorial Clock Tower, along the lake, right up to the walking bridge at the Boiling Springs Pool.

The food vendors are stacked up along 3rd Street and the arts and craft vendors line Front Street.

Parking can be difficult in the area.  You can find parking along some streets (although most are narrow and do not have side parking), or at the Yellow Breeches parking area.  More recently, shuttles have been made available from the high school down to the square.  The walk from the high school to the square is approximately 1/2 mile, if you would prefer not to wait for the shuttle.
