"Christmas On Campus" Holiday Celebration

UPDATED:

Limestone University's “Christmas On Campus” will bring music, ice skating, a visit from Santa Claus, and more to campus on Saturday, Dec. 10.

The fun-filled schedule for “Christmas On Campus” has been updated and some new events have been added. An alternate schedule has also been developed in case of inclement weather.

This year’s luminaries have been cancelled due to the possibility of inclement weather. 

A music recital will be held inside Fullerton Auditorium from 4:15 p.m. until 4:45 p.m. New to the event this year, a portable ice-skating rink will open on the front campus at 5 p.m. and run until 9 p.m. There will also be cookies and beverages, inflatable games, and other outside festivities during that same four-hour time period.

From 5 p.m. until 5:45 p.m., a Steel Pan Drum concert will be held outside on the front campus.

Limestone President Dr. Darrell Parker will flip the switch for the official lighting of the Limestone Christmas Tree at 6 p.m., and that will be followed by a Saxophone ensemble performance on the front campus beginning at 6:15 p.m. Christmas music will then be featured until the event concludes at 9 p.m.

Santa Claus will arrive on the front campus at 6:15 p.m. and photos with Santa will then be held inside the Curtis Building’s Formal Parlors until 9 p.m. Those who would like photos with Santa should bring their own cameras or mobile phones with cameras. Limestone will not have a photographer on site.

From 7 p.m. until 9 p.m. Christmas movies will be shown inside the Camp-Swofford Chapel, along with hot chocolate and other goodies.

The public is invited to attend “Christmas On Campus” and all activities are free of charge.

In the event of inclement weather, the luminaries will not be lit and the official tree lighting will not take place. The ice skating will move into inside the Hines & Riggins Center (but no inflatables will be available inside the building). The Streel Pan Drum concert, photos with Santa, and the saxophone performance would also move inside the Hines & Riggins Center.
