42nd Governor's Carolighting

On Sunday, Nov. 30, ETV rings in the holidays with statewide coverage of the 42nd Annual Governor’s Carolighting. The program airs LIVE from the State House steps beginning at 6 p.m.

This time-honored tradition marks the official start of the yuletide season in South Carolina, as Governor Mark Sanford gives his Christmas message and lights the state's Christmas tree.

The program will be filled with the sounds of the season as musicians of every age and from every corner of the Palmetto State perform some of the most beloved Christmas carols, including O Come, All Ye Faithful; Angels We Have Heard on High; and The First Nowell.

Performances this year include selections from the Governor's All-Star High School Chorus and Band, the USC Trumpet Choir, the Palmetto Mastersingers, the Carolighting Children's Choir and the Carolighting Handbell Choir.
