The Southern Lights
Stroll through The Gardens of Southeastern North Carolina as thousands of holiday lights glow along a self-guided walk, with visits from Santa and Mrs. Claus every night. Kids can set off on the Elf Quest Experience, find their way through the Holiday Maze, toss never-melting snowballs in the Snowball Fight Arena, and roast s'mores by the fire. The lights are open 5:30-9:00 PM on Friday, November 20 and Saturday, November 21. Tickets are $14 in advance or $18 day-of, children 4 and under are free, and military families get 10% off; the event is cashless and pets are not allowed.
