Celebrate your holidays in Pender County on Topsail Island. To kick off the season Surf City lights their 20-foot Christmas Tree by the waters of the sound with live music, kids’ events, and more. Lake Linda’s Christmas Lights featured on ABC’s Great Light Fight opens Thanksgiving weekend! Topsail Beach hosts the Annual lighted Christmas Parade and Celebration with handbell performers, children’s activities, and hot cider. Rock around the Christmas tree at the Historical Society of Topsail Island’s Jingle Bell Ball. Then get ready for the Topsail Island Flotilla, a lighted boat parade that travels all the way down the intercoastal waterway. Topsail Island is also one of the best places to get your Christmas Shopping done with unique apparel, home décor, and gifts featured at all our boutiques. Don’t forget to stop at our bakeries and candy stores for your favorite Christmas treats like cookies, cakes, pies, hand-dipped candy, homemade fudge, and much more. Watch for specials, deals, and events at all our shops, restaurants, and attractions, while you keep your eyes peeled for Mr. and Mrs. Claus. The Claus’s like Topsail Island so much that they start their vacation with the New Year’s Day Dolphin Dip where hundreds of people jump into the Atlantic Ocean to bring in the New Year. Come enjoy a different way to celebrate the Holidays and join us for our seaside traditions.
