If you find yourself on Hilton Head Island this holiday season, Coligny Plaza is one of the coziest and most festive spots to celebrate the holidays.
From festive plants and natural décor to iconic winter foods, many of the holiday traditions we know today either began here or were popularized in the Lowcountry of South Carolina.
Poinsettias
The beloved poinsettia’s American story starts in the Lowcountry, where Joel Robert Poinsett brought the brilliant red plant from Mexico in 1825. Its popularity spread nationwide, making it a lasting symbol of Christmas.
When most people think about listing their home, spring is the season that comes to mind. But while spring may bring more activity, selling your home in the winter comes with its own set of strategic advantages—many of which can lead to a smoother, faster, and more successful sale. If you're considering making a move, here’s why the colder months might just be the warmest opportunity.
There’s a certain magic to the Lowcountry coastline—salt on the breeze, pluff mud in the air, and a soundtrack that drifts from beachside bars and summer festivals. That soundtrack, unmistakably smooth and nostalgic, is beach music. Not to be confused with surf rock or tropical party anthems, beach music is a uniquely Southern form of rhythm and blues that found its cultural home along the Carolina coast.
Every November 11th, we pause and reflect on the profound sacrifices made by the men and women who have served in the U.S. Armed Forces. Veterans Day isn’t just federal holiday; it is a solemn and necessary acknowledgement of the dedication, bravery, and selflessness of America's veterans.
Each birthday marks a milestone in our lives. For the U.S. Marines, November 10, 2025 is an extraordinary milestone – 250 years of exemplary dedication and service to our country and the freedoms it embraces. The U.S. Marine Corps motto says it all – Semper Fidelis – Always Faithful.
Looking for a fun way to spend the day with kids? There’s no better place in the Lowcountry than The Sandbox, an interactive children’s museum. Conveniently located at 80 Nassau Street, Hilton Head Island, SC, this interactive learning and playing space is open seven days a week (closed on major holidays), providing a safe, entertaining environment to exercise active imaginations and energy-charged little ones.
Who doesn’t like candles? We give them as gifts. We decorate our homes with them. What would our holiday decor be without them? They come in all sizes, colors and scents. While they are beautiful, they can also be dangerous.
