Catch a Light Show

Love taking in the wonder of hundreds of colorful holiday lights? You’re in the right place! The Triangle area hosts a variety of holiday light displays, from a new drive-through experience at Coastal Credit Union Music Park called Magic of Lights, to the beautiful Nights of Lights at Dorothea Dix Park. If you’re looking for an upbeat light show with musical synchronization, head to Lake Myra for a 30-45 minute show. 

The Rink at Red Hat Amphitheater

Lace up your skates and get out on the rink! This event is located in the heart of downtown Raleigh at the Red Hat Amphitheater, and it’s the first year of the rink. This winter wonderland will run all the way through January 1st, and only costs $11 per person for admission and skate rental! 

Happy Hollydays Christmas Parade

Join together with your community to watch a fun and upbeat Christmas parade! Holly Springs will host their parade on December 11th. The event is set to include dancers, floats, marching groups and more! There’s even a theme for this year’s Happy Hollydays Christmas Parade: Holiday Movies!

Enjoy a Holiday Cocktail

For a more low-key way to celebrate, leave the kids at home and head to a holiday pop-up bar like The Haymaker! Miracle at the Haymaker runs throughout the holiday season and features fun holiday decorations and themed cocktails. Sip on a Jolly Koala, and Christmas Carol Barrel, or a snowball old fashioned to get you in the holiday spirit!
