The Tanglewood Festival of Lights offers visitors the opportunity to drive through the park and enjoy a nice variety of lighted scenes. Even the entrance is festive as the booths look like a huge castle and soldiers line the sides. Many of the wooded areas offer a great opportunity to drive through falling leaves, jumping reindeer, falling snow, or a lighted tunnel.

Hay rides are available for groups up to 25 for an extra fee. Groups up to four may opt for a horse drawn carriage ride through the Festival of Lights in Tanglewood. My family got a special opportunity to enjoy a Christmas party inside of Tanglewood along with a hay ride through the light show, and that is a special memory that I will cherish. Make sure to bring plenty of warm clothes, including gloves and hats, if the weather is cold or windy!

A large bonfire beckons guests to purchase some marshmallows for roasting. Other concessions and bathroom facilities are also available at this single stop in the Festival of Lights. Live trees, wreaths, and garlands from Cullowhee will be available for purchase as well. Santa and Mrs. Claus will be available on certain nights during the week.
The light displays may be changed from year to year, and additions are typically made each year. LED lights are now being used for a brighter show.
