The holiday season will soon shine brightly in Kannapolis as the city prepares to welcome thousands of visitors for its annual Celebration of Lights, Christmas parade and a lineup of festive entertainment, including a new theatrical production of A Christmas Carol.
The festivities officially begin this Friday with the annual Tree Lighting Ceremony at Village Park, 700 West C St., where hundreds of thousands of twinkling lights will illuminate the park for the holiday season.
The ceremony begins at 6:30 p.m. and will feature live musical performances, the arrival of Santa Claus and a fireworks display following the lighting of the Christmas tree.
