Dubbed ‘Asheville’s brightest holiday tradition,’ Winter Lights opens Friday, Nov. 17, with the brilliant display open daily 6-10 p.m. through Sunday, Dec. 31, at the N.C. Arboretum. 

The event’s traditional outdoor walk-through, open-air format will return this year, featuring the iconic 50-foot lighted tree, a Quilt Garden outfitted with new light designs and a garden experience showcasing popular arrangements alongside never-before-seen displays.

Ticket prices range from $30 to $60 per car depending on the date and entry time, with members receiving a $5 discount. Flex tickets are $75. Winter Lights is the arboretum’s largest annual fundraiser supporting many parts of its mission-driven programming. Learn more or buy tickets at ncarboretum.org/winter-lights.

We don’t plan to change that model. Support from our readers will help us maintain and strengthen the editorial independence that is crucial to our mission to help make Western North Carolina a better place to call home.
