Downtown Edenton’s homes and shops are sprinkled with twinkling lights and greenery as the town prepares for two weeks of holiday merriment.
Just the right touch of chill adds the perfect setting for Thursday’s Sip and Shop, followed by a Kick-Off to Christmas on Friday with the Tree Lighting, Santa’s Arrival and a Lighted Boat flotilla.
