Light the Night

About

Light the Night is West Virginia's largest winter light festival, held in Charleston with over 2.5 million lights choreographed to holiday music. The festival runs from late November through New Year's Day and features carnival rides, ice skating, ice bumper cars, kids' activities, holiday shopping, food vendors, and pictures with Santa. Strong foot traffic and a tourism-heavy crowd make this a solid fit for food and beverage vendors.
