A Cashiers Christmas
Written By: Mary Jane McCall | Issue: 2017/11 - November
It’s officially the season of twinkling lights and hot cider. At The Village Green in Cashiers, it’s also the time of year for making spirits merry and bright with s’more making, Christmas lights and a visit from that jolly old elf, Santa Claus!
Christmas On the Green is one of Cashiers’ beloved annual traditions Thanksgiving weekend on Friday, November 24. Celebrate the most wonderful time of year beginning at 2:00 P.M. with a visit from the North Pole by Santa and Mrs. Claus. Children of all ages can share their letters and Christmas wishes until 5:00 P.M. at the Gazebo in The Village Green at the crossroads of Highways 64 and 107 in Cashiers. Games, warm drinks and tasty treats will also be available.
The fun continues with the Cashiers Christmas Tree Lighting celebration from 5:00 until 6:00 p.m. Enjoy holiday music, gather around the fire pit to warm your hands or roast marshmallows as the sunsets and the park begins to glow with holiday lights.
The magic holiday sparkle happens when the switch is flipped to illuminate thousands of lights on the beautiful 65-foot spruce in the center of Cashiers.
“For 25 years the mission of The Village Green has been to enhance the lifestyle of residents and visitors to the Cashiers area,” says Village Green Executive Director Ann Self. “Traditions like Christmas On the Green preserve the charm and legacy of our mountain community.”
The Village Green is a privately-conserved park for free, public enjoyment that provides a window into the pleasurable pursuits of the area.
“However, many people do not realize that The Village Green is not a government funded park,” says Self. The Village Green depends on donors to help fund all the fun and interesting activities like Christmas On the Green as well as maintain the park.
