Winter Lights at the N.C. Arboretum had a record-setting season, drawing nearly 40,000 guests over the course of its six-week run ending Dec. 31. 

Proceeds from the event, which features about 500,000 lights as well as Christmas music, crafts and other activities, will support upcoming projects and Arboretum offerings in the year ahead. And planning for next year’s show is already underway — dates will be Nov. 22 through Jan. 4, with tickets going on sale in August.

We don’t plan to change that model. Support from our readers will help us maintain and strengthen the editorial independence that is crucial to our mission to help make Western North Carolina a better place to call home.
