The Raleigh Christmas Tree

On display through December 2025

Moore Square, Downtown Raleigh

Thank you to everyone who attended our 17th Annual Tree Lighting and Holiday Market presented by Publix!

You can now visit the Raleigh Christmas Tree shining nightly through New Years and curate your perfect holiday evening downtown using our Holiday Hub. 

Know Before You Go

There is ample bike and scooter parking available around Moore Square. Most GoRaleigh routes stop at the GoRaleigh Station, located right next to Moore Square, making it easy to arrive by bus.

If you’re driving, nearby parking options can be found here. The closest 2-hour, free-parking-eligible decks are Moore Square Deck (223 S. Wilmington Street) and Wilmington Street Station Deck (117 S. Wilmington Street), both just a short walk away. Arrive after 5pm and park for free all evening.

 

Thank you to our Tree Lighting celebration sponsors!
