Our next destination was the tiny town of McAdenville, aka Christmas Town USA.
It shows up on many online lists of festive Christmas towns....
here are a couple of mentions:
Now in its 62nd year, the tiny town of less than 700 people celebrate the season with an array of events, kicked off by a Christmas lighting ceremony that takes place on December 1st. Nearly 400 live trees ignite each night in decorations and lights through the 26th. Along with the tree lighting ceremony, there is a Yule log ceremony and an annual Christmas town festival. The Yule log is pulled through town on a sled by local children, with residents and visitors in tow. Once it reaches downtown, the log is set on fire as a commencement of the annual Christmas Town Festival.https://www.rd.com/list/best-small-towns-christmas-lights/The map might say McAdenville, but to locals, this place is known as Christmas Town USA. For the past 63 years, this Charlotte suburb has put on an impressive holiday display, with 265 evergreen trees covered in 500,000 lights, plus more than 160 decorated houses. The best part? You can view everything for free.https://www.countryliving.com/life/travel/g2829/best-christmas-towns-in-usa/
