The Charlotte Knights' uptown ballpark hosts this festival, now in its sixth year, filling Truist Field with tens of thousands of lights plus an ice rink and a 10-lane snow tubing slope. Advance tickets are recommended.
Best time to arrive. Sunset in Charlotte is around 5:13 PM in mid-December, fully dark by about 5:41 PM. A typical December night here bottoms out near 32°F, so dress for standing around outside.
