Light the Night: Waynesville Christmas Tree Lighting 2026

Kick off the holiday season with Downtown Waynesville’s cherished tree-lighting event, Light the Night!

As the town’s soaring Christmas tree is illuminated in front of Town Hall, enjoy live music, hot cocoa, cookies, and caroling. Browse downtown shops, grab a bite at a local restaurant, and soak in the magic of the holidays in Waynesville.

Plus, get into the spirit of giving by adopting an Angel from the community Giving Tree to help provide Christmas gifts for Waynesville children in foster care.
