One of the largest and most spectacular Christmas light displays in North Carolina is at 10 S. Cypress St, Wendell, North Carolina, and it’s free to visit.
But if you want to see it, you’ll need to go this year, because the homeowners have announced that 2026 is the final year of the show, which they’ve been sharing since 1997.
Lake Myra Christmas Lights features almost a quarter of a million lights that dance in a synchronized show, with special effects, to holiday music.
Lake Myra Christmas Lights will run from November 25 to December 31, 2026, from 5:30 p.m. to 10 p.m. each night.
There’s also a 50-foot decorated Christmas tree!
This is a FREE event, but there will be donation boxes if you’d like to make a contribution.
This isn’t a drive-thru light show. You park and and watch the show, which is about 25 minutes long, with a 5 minute intermission between shows. Feel free to bring a chair and watch.
There is also a walkway around the lights, and through the tallest tree.
If there are large crowds waiting when you get there, enjoy a walk around town!
Santa will be there on Saturday nights from November 28 to December 19, 2026, from 7 to 9 p.m.
Leashed dogs are welcome, but please clean up after them.
Make sure to always check the Facebook page for Lake Myra Christmas Lights before heading out, so that you can see if there is a change in the schedule due to weather or any other reason.
