Carolina Panthers and Charlotte FC Invite the Carolinas Community to the Annual Tree Lighting Festival at Bank of America Stadium

The Carolina Panthers and Charlotte FC will host the 11th annual Tree Lighting Festival on Tuesday, November 26 at Bank of America Stadium. This Charlotte tradition invites families and fans from across the Carolinas to enjoy an evening filled with holiday-themed activities, as the two organizations illuminate a 50-foot-tall tree from Sugar Mountain Nursery in Banner Elk, N.C. North Carolina is the second largest holiday tree-producing state in the U.S., with approximately 96% of the state’s trees grown in the mountainous regions of Western North Carolina, a region severely impacted by Hurricane Helene. This year, vendors from that area will be showcased along the concourse in collaboration with Explore Asheville.

The evening begins with a spectacular stage show featuring guest appearances from Sir Purr, Sir Minty, the Black & Blue Crew, Carolina Panthers TopCats and Purrcussion. Afterwards, community members are invited into the Bank of America Stadium concourse for a holiday festival. Guests can enjoy an array of winter activities and family-friendly entertainment including:

Holiday stapes including letter writing, hot chocolate stations, sweet treats and more

Interactive crafts such as fleece-making, decorate-your-own football helmet and create-a-soccer ornament

Photo opportunities with entertainment performers and Santa Claus

This community event is free for all ages, but mobile tickets are required to attend. Tickets can be secured here.
