If the black velvet nights looming above Cashiers seemed so much brighter during the 2025 holiday season, that’s because the Cashiers Area Chamber of Commerce and the Village Green joined forces to spread a dazzling collection of lights across buildings, storefronts, and natural formations.
And the spirit of jolly goodness lingers long after the holidays. All through February, the Village Lights will illuminate the Cashiers Crossroads and The Village Green, a Glittering Wonderland that banishes gray days and brings brilliance to winter nights. Behind the scenes, the Cashiers Area Chamber of Commerce is keeping that glow alive with its Cashiers Village Lights project.
What began as a Chamber Retail Roundtable idea has blossomed into a cheerful community tradition. The Chamber helps members shine by coordinating bulk light orders, even offering set‑up and take‑down for a small fee — and then spreading the sparkle online, in print, and across social media.
“It’s a welcome wow on your Goose‑Bump Meter,” says our resident art critic, Donna Rhodes. “Accompanying the lights, Father Winter and Mother Earth are an evergreen — sometimes snow‑white — partnership in their fantastic seasonal presentation. The lights, the land, the scenery, are waiting for your enjoyment.”
So pay a visit, linger for a while, and let the Village Lights and The Lights on The Green bring a welcome break from winter’s gray. Their sparkle awakens a child‑like sense of wonder, lighting up your heart along with the village. And as you stroll beneath the twinkling canopy, you’ll find yourself part of something bigger — neighbors greeting neighbors, families laughing together, and visitors discovering the magic that makes Cashiers shine even in the quietest season.
