Tanglewood Festival of Lights

Tanglewood Park (A Christmas Fantasy Land)

Tanglewood Festival of Lights

Last week, we drove toward Charlotte, NC, to see the Christmas lights. Our neighbors told us about driving through this park resort that is well known for decorating for the holidays. We had to see for ourselves.

This is Tanglewood’s 34th season to bring about the Festival of Lights. Each holiday season, visitors come together to celebrate in the magical glow of the Tanglewood Park Festival of Lights. Spanning from mid-November to New Year’s Day, this enchanting event has become a must-see attraction, drawing an impressive 55,000 vehicles and approximately 300,000 visitors annually.

Drive through miles of dazzling displays, from storybook scenes to holiday themes, all illuminated by over one million LED lights. It’s an unforgettable experience for all ages!

The beautiful displays are approximately 5.1 miles long, and yes, they are dazzling. Unfortunately, with taillights breaking, nighttime, and driving, many of my pictures taken with my cell was blurred. But I couldn’t help but share!

Without further ado…

And as the morning sun makes an appearance, the reindeer are returned to their stalls.
