Tryon Resort Winterfest features two-mile animated light show

Looking for lights this holiday season? You’ll find hundreds of thousands of them at Shadrack’s Christmas Wonderland at Tryon Resort Winterfest.

The drive-thru light show is open from 6 p.m. until 10 p.m. nightly, going until 11 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays. Visitors can enjoy the lights, animated to music, from the comfort of their vehicle, until January 2, 2022.

“The best way to get into the holiday spirit is Winterfest at Tryon Resort,” said Michelle Yelton, Director of PR and Marketing. “We have so much for all ages. You can start out with our Christmas lights show, a two-mile animated light show.”

This year, visitors are invited to Winterfest Village located at Tryon Resort’s Legends Plaza area. There are plenty of free nightly activities including Santa’s North Pole Adventure and live music.

Attendees also can purchase wrist bands to gain entry to the Who-liday Character Zone featuring Thomas the Train rides, carousel rides, bounce houses and the North Pole Post Office where children can send a letter to Santa. Visits with Santa are free.

”I love the North Pole Post Office because kids get really excited about sending that letter to Santa,” Yelton said. “There’s an elf in there and some fun character pictures, and the kids will get a reply from Santa.”
