The Abbeville Merchants’ Association with the aid of the
Abbeville Chamber of Commerce is sponsoring the second Olde
South Christmas with the theme, “Come to Abbeville and step
back into time”. War for Southern Independence re-enactors
will be walking about the town and will have encampments on
both Secession Hill and the grounds of the Burt/Stark
House. There is planned a candlelight tour of their
campsites on Saturday night 4 December and perhaps on Friday
3 December. During the candlelight tour the re-enactors
will perform various skits of the period. The festivities
will begin with the lighting of the town’s Christmas tree on
the square at 6:30 PM followed with the singing of Christmas
carols by various performers, all in period costumes.
Saturday morning 4 December will begin with a parade of the
re-enactors into the square from the Burt/Stark House at
10:00 AM. During the day there will be roving carolers
in period dress singing seasonal songs and Christmas carols.
We also hope to have a few distinguish guests from that
period walking about town. You will have to come visit
us to find out who these quests will be. Many if not most
merchants will be dressed in period dress and most merchants
will be serving period refreshments free of charge to their
customers. There will be carriages providing rides for
a fee on both Saturday and Sunday
