That's sweet! Even sweeter, "There is no cost to enter Tinsel Town. However, charges will apply to those who choose to ice skate." Concerts there are crazy high priced so the FREE came as a shock!
They have an ice skating rink behind the Starbucks at North Hills too. My sister and I got to watch some young ice team practice for a christmas show Sunday morning, while sipping yummy coffee and sitting in the warm sunshine....I am sure they have som kind of entertainment lined up through-out the season for shoppers. Neat-O.
Looks like Walnut & Andys are not having the light show this year or ever again. I guess the Meadows, Lights on the Neuse & Tinsel Town are the only places to go to see lights. Nay other suggestions?
2.5 hour drive west (but worth it) Tanglewood Festival of Lights http://www.forsyth.cc/tanglewood/fol_info.aspx Beginning November 10 through January 1, Tanglewood’s rolling countryside will be transformed into a winter wonderland of giant snowflakes and whimsical scenes! Entering our 16th season, Tanglewood’s Festival of Lights continues to be one of the largest and most spectacular light shows in the entire southeast. From storybook scenes to Holiday themes, over one hundred displays and over a million lights fill Tanglewood Park with the entire splendor and joy of the Holiday season.
