Join us on Thanksgiving Night when people and families alike flood downtown to look up at the beautiful Canopy of Lights!
Each year Santa Claus makes a special visit to Downtown Moultrie to see the children and kick off the Christmas season. When you explore, you will find live reindeer, pony rides, a train, and more.
Downtown shops begin to open at 4:30 pm, just an hour and a half before the Canopy of Lights is turned on for the season. After you watch the lights come on, take a stroll around downtown to visit the many shops and restaurants that are open.
Downtown Moultrie’s Canopy of Lights dates back to the 1930s.
The Canopy of Lights turns on for the first time on Thanksgiving night. They will come on every night for several weeks. They are officially switched off for the season on Twelfth Night (12 nights after Christmas day.)
