Pelzer Light People

Drive into downtown Pelzer during the weeks before Christmas and follow the line of cars to Louise Watson’s house, where you’ll find holiday lights not only adorning the eaves and trees but the residents, as well—sometimes as many as twenty at a time. What started nearly twenty years ago by Pelzer councilman Tony Riddle as a fundraiser for an ill friend has grown into an annual event. Not only do neighborhood residents dress up, but church groups and families come out to wear the lights—there are even a few extra costumes so you too can have your photo taken as a decoration shining in the night.

December 11–24, nightly, beginning at 7pm. 19 Adger Street, Pelzer.
Free, donations accepted. (864) 947-2683
