Holiday Light Displays in the Triangle (plus a bonus!)
Holiday Light Displays
in the Triangle
With the first snowfall of the year, Winter has officially
arrived in the Triangle, with it comes the tradition of people across the
country covering their yards and home in lights, blow up characters and other
Holiday decorations. Some Triangle residents even decide to decorate their cars
with lights. Some homeowners chose to get a little more serious about their
decorating than others. The question is, where can we find these light
displays? Let's find out!
Chinese LanternFestival
The Chinese Lantern Festival is one of the more popular
light shows around the Triangle. This will be the fourth year of its existence
and we should expect nothing but their best show yet. They are adding an
additional 20 new displays.

When: November 23rd- January 13th, 6pm
to 10pm (Open Tuesday-Sunday/ Monday Dec24th & 31st)

and the greater area! They offer a wide variety of family friendly events for
all to enjoy. Their main attraction is a 30 minute hay ride that allows you to view
all of their light shows and listen to Christmas music. Other activities

chocolate and coffee. Kids can also enjoy siting with Santa for free.

Hill Ridge Farms Festival of Lights
For the homeowners who live more in the northern
part of the city, this ones for you! Located in Youngsville, this one as well
offers a ride through their farm, this time in the form of a covered wagon! The
farm is, as you can imagine covered in enough lights to decorate an entire
neighborhood full of houses to the extent of the National Lampoon Christmas
house! Hill Ridge is a family friendly venue that offers a variety of foods and
drinks fit for the holiday season. These include hot chocolate, coffee, candy, S'mores and much more!

While this one goes “beyond the Triangle”, it is well worth
the trip! The Tanglewood Festival of Lights is located in Clemmons, NC on
Tanglewood Golf Course. This year begins is the 27th year of
continuation! This light show features a route that you families drive though
in personal vehicle. This light show is a personal favorite of mine, due to it
being the primary light show that family/ friends and I would attend during my
High School years. So while it may be close to a 2 hour drive from Raleigh, if
you have to time to make the drive, I think this is the one to go to. The light
show includes what’s more than a 5 mile track including what’s got to exceed
displays in the triple digits. According to their site, they have close to
250,000 attendees every year, if that’s any testimony to the level of awe you will
find here! It should be noted though, if you plan to make the trip to go see
this show especially on a weekend, build in some waiting time! Since a 4 hour
wait is not unheard of for a busy Saturday night visit. Tanglewood Festival
Light show also offers the visits with Santa!
Where: Tanglewood Park. 4061 Clemmons Rd, Clemmons NC
When: November 26th- January 1
Admission: tickets start at $15
