The Southport Garden Club’s Candy Cane Garden is back for its fourth year 2024!

This is your chance to display your artistic holiday talents by decorating a blank candy cane and entering it in the Candy Cane Garden where the People’s Choice Award will be given!

The blank candy canes are available online for $50, a sturdy stand is available for only $10 more, and may be picked up at the Fort Johnston Visitor’s Center from November 1 to December 2nd.

Return the decorated Candy Cane to Indian Trail Meeting Hall, 113 W. Moore Street, on Monday, December 9th from 10 AM – 3 PM or Tuesday,  Tuesday, December 10^th from 10 AM – Noon. Once returned, it will be registered for inclusion in the Candy Cane Garden.

Please plan to attend the special evening “Candy Cane Garden Party” on Tuesday evening, December 10^th from 6-8 PM. The event will feature music, refreshments, a visit by Santa and attendees’ judging for best cane. Items for auction have been expanded for this year’s Party: four canes painted by local artists will be auctioned off on site, as will four holiday wreaths fully decorated and ready for holiday display.

Also new this year will be ready-made floral arrangements for sale in three sizes. If you’re in need of hostess gifts, decorations for shut-ins, or want a festive arrangement for yourself, we can help you out!
