Chetola Resort features a sparkling display of lights each winter season.  The Festival of Lights is free and open to the public, and you are invited to enjoy thousands of dazzling illuminations throughout the resort.  As you drive or stroll around Chetola Lake, view glittering ice skaters, “Rudolph” reeling in a big fish, strolling carolers, and many more captivating holiday scenes.  

The “Festival of Lights” opens on the Friday after Thanksgiving at dusk and remains up through Blowing Rock WinterFest.  The display illuminates at dusk each evening.
