Video and Photos: 2nd Annual “Jingle All the Way” Boat Caroling on Lake Keowee

Featured

 

Ho Ho Ho Your Boats!

In a tradition unto itself, residents of The Reserve at Lake Keowee enjoyed their 2nd Annual “Jingle All the Way” boat caroling event, “dashing through the lake” amid warm 60-degree temperatures in merry spirit and festive fun. 

Four boats carrying 37 carolers participated in this year’s event, which consisted of four planned stops at different Reserve owners’ docks decorated for the occasion. Singing traditional Christmas songs along the way, the carolers docked at sunset at The Reserve at Lake Keowee’s Marina, and walked up to The Village’s Market to enjoy warm house made soups and sandwiches. 

The evening ended around a roaring fire, roasting s’mores for dessert. If ever there were a portrait of a quintessential Christmas evening (with a twist), it could certainly have been here.
