Raleigh Tree Lighting and Holiday Market

Friday, November 21st | 5:30-8pm

Kick-off the holiday season at our 17th Annual Tree Lighting and Holiday Market—this year, in a new location!

Watch as the Raleigh Christmas Tree comes to light, get free pictures with Santa Claus, shop for presents at the local vendor market, enjoy festive performances by local artists, and so much more all in downtown's historic Moore Square park.

Stay tuned for more details on live performances, food & drink vendors, and on-site activities!
