Around The South
The Carolina Inn
Chapel Hill, NCby Renee Wright
Located in the heart of the historic Chapel Hill campus of the University of North Carolina, the 75-year-old Carolina Inn celebrates Christmas with its "Twelve Days of Christmas" festival.
From early December to January 6th, the traditional Twelfth Night, the hotel’s lobby and public areas exhibit 12 unique works of art in a variety of media that bring the traditional carol to life.
A Gingerbread Competition features the famed buildings of the Carolina campus and other historic sites in cake and candy.
Themed events include:
- the annual "Nine Ladies Dancing" swing dance
- the "Lords A-Leaping" Lunch with Woody Herman, the Voice of Tar Heel basketball
- the Scottish Highland Game Dinner
- historic tours
