For the sixth year in a row, our wonderful town is celebrating Light Up McCaysville, with festivities beginning on Nov. 29th. Shortly after sunset, we will light the 30-foot tree on the deck of Riverwalk Shops. We invite our community of friends from around the region to join us in giving thanks for all our blessings.

With so much excitement, please plan for potential traffic delays.

The sights and sounds of the holidays will last all season long at our downtown shops and restaurants, especially on Saturday, Dec. 7th, at 2 p.m. That’s when the Copperhill Kiwanis Club will celebrate their annual Christmas Parade! Running along Blue Ridge Dr., you won’t want to miss this very special event. The parade lineup will be at our city park on East Tn Ave at 1 p.m.

For everyone’s safety, some downtown McCaysville roads will be temporarily closed for Light Up as well as for the Christmas Parade. Please support my staff and officers by being patient with us and our visitors. They love our riverside community for all the same reasons we do, especially the ‘Southern Hospitality’ and kindness everyone expects.

Thank you,
