A Good Time for the Whole Family With a Train Ride, Lights, Carousel, S’mores, Santa, Singing Bears, and More!
Celebrate the holidays with 250,000 sparkling lights and fun for the whole family at Village Park during the Kannapolis Celebration of Lights. You can take a walk around the park and enjoy the festive atmosphere, or ride the Winterland Express train. The Winterland Express travels around the park, where the 12 days of Christmas are displayed in lights. It runs from 6:00 pm - 9:00 pm Sunday - Thursday and from 6:00 pm - 10:00 pm Friday and Saturday. The train is closed on Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Eve, and Christmas Day. The Winterland Express train is a favorite among kids, but train rides are by reservation only, so be sure to purchase your tickets ahead of time. You can buy them directly from their website. Be aware that they are timed and there are no refunds if you show up past your ticketed time, so plan to get to the park a little bit early!
All the favorite activities are still happening this year such as s’mores, hot chocolate, singing bears, and a free socially distanced visit to Santa. The singing bears do a 30-minute caroling show on the hour, every hour.
There will also be nightly food trucks, so bring your appetite!
Masks, social distancing, and hand washing will be required.
Price:
Free admission to the park
