Discover a magical winter wonderland like no other in Historic Downtown Swansboro each November during the annual Swansboro by Candlelight celebration. Sip on seasonal refreshments from local merchants and restaurants as you stroll beneath twinkling lights and the soft shimmer of luminaries. Admire the whimsical holiday window and storefront displays, along with ribbons, bows, and festive decorations that bring back the nostalgia of holidays past.
The evening is filled with holiday cheer and entertainment, including live music on the Pug Pavilion Stage in Olde Town Square featuring Justin Castellano and Ed Prophet. Swansboro Dance Studio brings the magic of the season to life with scenes from their Nutcracker Ballet, followed by the Annual Town of Swansboro Christmas Tree Lighting. From the sights and sounds to the warm sense of community, Swansboro by Candlelight is the perfect way to welcome the holidays, and we invite you to stay and join in the festivities all season long.
