The Light the park party is this Saturday!
This event is operated by volunteers and intended for neighborhood residents to celebrate as a community before the neighborhood light display is open to the public.
If you want to see the lights on Saturday and live outside of the neighborhood, please drive through after 9pm once the event is complete.
Each year, the Sunset Hills neighborhood transforms into a magical wonderland with its Light the Park event, which will be held this year on Saturday, November 23 beginning at 5pm.
Light the Park kicks off the neighborhood’s efforts to light up Sunset Hills with the famous “light balls.” Families and friends gather at the annual event to enjoy the dazzling displays of hundreds of handcrafted light balls suspended in trees, giving the entire park a charming glow. Light the Park not only illuminates the night but also embodies the neighborhood’s warmth and community spirit.
This year’s Light the Park event will feature two bands. The opening musical entertainment will feature School of Rock, out of Chapel Hill. Parents, don’t miss this exciting opportunity for your children to enjoy this fun band of young kids jamming out with their classic rock songs.
Winston-Salem-based band Big Daddy Love will take the stage as this year’s headliner musical entertainment. Known for their signature blend of Appalachian Rock, Big Daddy Love is sure to bring energy and excitement to the night and create the perfect backdrop for an evening of holiday cheer and community connection.
Food trucks Carolina’s Finest and Pearl Kitchen will both be at Light the Park serving their delicious food, so make sure to come hungry! For a sweet treat, Whims will be serving waffles and hot chocolate.
