See Christmas Town USA in a Street-Legal Golf Cart
There is nothing quite like rolling through McAdenville when the lights come on. Christmas Town USA shines December 1 to 26, 2026, from 5:30 to 10 PM every night, and it is free. If you want to see it from a golf cart, it needs to be street legal, and that is our specialty. Our Charlotte Wilkinson store is about 10 minutes away. It is our pleasure to help.

About McAdenville
Christmas Town USA lights up McAdenville from December 1 to 26, 2026, 5:30 PM to 10:00 PM each night. The season kicks off with the Tree Lighting Ceremony at Dynamo 31 (102 Main St) on December 1, and the Yule Log Parade is December 10. Arrive early for dinner at Terra Mia Ristorante, a drink at 115 Craft or The River Room, and shopping at Mona’s Boutique and Gifts, Revolver Records and Life is Sweet Candy Shop (Town of McAdenville). The town asks visitors to come early in the month and on weeknights when possible. Church and Academy streets are closed to all vehicles, and you cannot enter from Hickory Grove Road (2026 visitor tips).
An LSV for the lights
Bundle up, add a blanket and a thermos of cocoa, and roll through the lights with the whole family. A street-legal LSV has headlights, taillights, turn signals, mirrors, seat belts and a windshield, so it is ready for a December night. Ask us about enclosures for the cold, too.
We sell and service golf carts for people who drive these streets and paths every day, so we can help you pick a cart that fits your community, your passengers and the way you actually use it.

Lithium battery conversions
Long nights in line for the lights call for range, and lithium delivers more of it, with faster charging and no watering. A lithium golf cart battery conversion cuts weight, charges faster, adds range and means no more watering batteries. Many owners make the switch on the golf cart they already love, and we are glad to quote yours.

Golf cart rules and street-legal LSVs in McAdenville
In North Carolina, a golf cart can only go on public streets two ways: as a titled, registered and insured low speed vehicle (LSV) on roads posted 35 mph or less, or under a local golf cart ordinance where the town or county has adopted one (NCDOT model ordinance). McAdenville does not allow regular golf carts on town streets. The town council voted down a golf cart ordinance in 2017 and pointed residents to LSVs instead (Town of McAdenville minutes). During the lights, a golf cart may drive the streets only if it is street legal, meaning registered with the State of North Carolina and equipped like an automobile (Christmas Town visitor FAQ). That is exactly what an LSV is: titled, registered, inspected and insured, for roads posted 35 mph or less.
Our street-legal LSV conversion page walks through the equipment, paperwork and steps in plain English.
