A Hilton Head Christmas tradition is shining brightly. Neighbors on Dove street on the South end of Hilton Head started lighting up their road with thousands of lights over 30 years ago, in what became known as the Dove Street Light Festival.

The Christmas tradition then moved to Shelter Cove for a few years and has stayed there, but the Dove Street lights still continue.

The Dove Street Festival of Lights, an Island holiday tradition for more than 30 years returned to its original, neighborly location in the North Forest Beach neighborhood.
And it sure is a magical Christmas wonderland.
The display is a gift to the community by the Dove Street Neighbors, and visitors from across the region will once again be able to experience the magic of the cascading and tastefully tacky display.
The display will be up through New Year’s Day, and is free for anyone.
