Knightdale, North Carolina, is in Eastern Wake County, about 10 miles east of Raleigh.
The Town of Knightdale is holding two Christmas celebrations in 2025, the tree lighting and the Christmas Parade.
Tree Lighting
The Tree Lighting Ceremony will take place on Friday, December 5, 2025, from 6 to 8 p.m., at Knightdale Station Park.
Santa and Mrs. Claus will be there, for free pictures, taken with your own phone or camera. Visits with Santa are first-come, first-served.
