Bright Nights on the Bluffwalk from Nov. 23 - Jan. 4, 2026Description
Join us on Sunday, November 23 from 5–9 PM 4-8 PM for Downtown Lynchburg’s Bright Nights Block Party!
This festive evening is packed with holiday cheer — from the Craddock Terry Tree Lighting and photos with Santa to live carolers, stage entertainment, and plenty of family-friendly fun. Warm up with seasonal brews in the beergarden, grab a bite in the Food Truck Zone, and shop one-of-a-kind gifts from artisan vendors.
The Block Party also marks the opening of Bright Nights on the Bluffwalk, where downtown is transformed into a dazzling winter wonderland of lights and large-scale holiday installations. Best of all, admission is free — so bring your friends, your family, and your holiday spirit to kick off the season in style!
Tree lighting at Craddock Terry Hotel from 6-6:30 PM.
This free six-week experience will run from November 23, 2025 - Jan. 4, 2026
This experience will begin with our Bright Nights Festival on November 23, which will include a tree-lighting ceremony, live music & performances, artisan craft vendors, food trucks, and more.
