WRAL/Capitol Broadcasting, in partnership with the City of Raleigh, is bringing back Nights of Lights, a drive-thru holiday light show in Dorothea Dix Park.
It begins on Friday, November 26th, and continues most nights through December 24th, 2021, from 6 p.m. to 9:30 p.m.
We have put together a huge list of holiday events in the Triangle, including parades, festivals, markets, Santa visits, and more. Check out our growing day by day list of holiday events in the Triangle!
This year the organizers promise more lights, more nights, and fewer cars per night.
On December 17th, 2021, donate 5 canned goods at WRAL Nights of Lights and receive a $20 Food Lion Gift Card. All food donations go to Interfaith Food Shuttle.
The 1.3 mile route will wind through the park, with illuminated trees, festive light displays and local art installations, all with the towering oaks, rolling hills and open fields of Dix Park as the backdrop.
General admission tickets are $20 per vehicle for cars and pickup trucks, with the price rising to $30 on premium nights (December 17th to 24th, 2021.)
A 10% service fee, 3% credit card fee and 7.25% sales tax will be added to ticket purchases.
Nights of Lights will be taking place every night from November 26th to December 24th, except for November 29th, December 6th, and December 13th.
There will be two Bike Nights this year, on November 21st and December 13th. On November 20th, the Nights of Lights 5K Walk/Run will take place at 6:30 p.m.

I purchased two tickets for the Night of Lights at Dix Park for December 30th…the two tickets together were $48.00. I now hae found out they were free to Health Care Workers. I am an RN at UNC in Chapel Hill…any chance of getting reimbursed for the two tickets I purchased…Thanks…Cindy morningstar

Cindy, honestly, I didn’t even hear that health care workers are free. You’d need to get in touch with WRAL or Raleigh Parks, I think.
