Truist Point Stadium in downtown High Point is trading baseball lights for holiday glow once again, as Winter Glow at The Point returns for Fridays and Saturdays from Nov. 27 through Dec. 19, running 5:30 to 9 p.m. each night. General admission costs $10 for anyone age 5 and older, while kids 4 and under get in free, and the event spans eight evenings packed with holiday lights, train rides, arts and crafts, and a s'mores lounge.
According to Visit High Point, every night of the event brings holiday lights, train rides, a s'mores lounge, arts and crafts, face painting, lawn games and holiday photo spots, with local vendors setting up on Saturdays. The YES! Weekly reports this marks the second annual edition of Winter Glow, which began in 2025, and that this year's version expands the interactive light experience across four themed weekends. The stadium sits at 301 N. Elm St. in downtown High Point, and free parking is available in lots on Church Avenue, Appling Way and North Elm Street, per Visit High Point.
Four Weekends, Four Different Themes
Winter Glow runs on Nov. 27-28, Dec. 4-5, Dec. 11-12 and Dec. 18-19. YES! Weekly's reporting fills in specific programming for those stretches, describing a Holiday Lights, Camera, Glow! weekend on Nov. 27-28 that includes festive activities, themed crafts, movie trivia, glow-in-the-dark mini golf, seasonal treats and a mechanical reindeer, along with film screenings of Elf on Nov. 27 and How the Grinch Stole Christmas (2000) on Nov. 28.
Winter Glow Unwrapped follows on Dec. 4-5, which the same outlet says includes friendly competition, elf-training challenges, interactive holiday games and ice skating. Gather Under the Glow is set for Dec. 11-12 and folds in Christmas karaoke, a holiday game show, glow-in-the-dark mini golf, seasonal experiences and Santa's Holiday Escape Room, according to that reporting. The final weekend, Santa's Winter Wonderland at the Glow on Dec. 18-19, is described as featuring Santa and his elves, holiday workshops, seasonal entertainment, sweet treats and ice skating.
Ice Skating, Mini Golf and a Nightly Train
Ice skating is offered as a $7 add-on, which Visit High Point says applies specifically to Dec. 4, 5, 18 and 19, and requires a separate event entry ticket. Glow-in-the-dark mini golf, meanwhile, is scheduled for Nov. 27-28 and Dec. 11-12, per YES! Weekly's reporting. The Winter Glow Express train operates each evening of the event, taking guests on a festive ride through the holiday experience, and the grounds also include Santa's Holiday Escape Room and themed concessions.
Dana East, director of event strategy for Visit High Point, said Winter Glow returns for a second year with an expanded holiday experience and four themed weekends, according to YES! Weekly. The event is presented by Visit High Point, the City of High Point and Truist Point Stadium, with the Douglas S. Witcher Family Foundation as a sponsor, and organizers frame it as part of Visit High Point's broader push to bring visitors and residents together downtown.
Suite Rentals and Who's Behind the Lights
Groups looking for a more private vantage point can rent one of the stadium's private suites, which accommodate 10 to 25 people and include indoor gathering space with balcony seating overlooking the lights below. Suite rentals come with general admission for the whole group, alcoholic and nonalcoholic beverages, hot cocoa, a charcuterie board, dip and a dessert platter, per the YES! Weekly report.
Visit High Point describes itself as the official destination management and marketing organization for High Point, a role it has held since being established by state legislation in 1984. The nonprofit 501(c)(6) organization says it is funded by a self-imposed 3 percent room occupancy tax on local hotels and does not rely on city, county or state taxpayer funds. A 2025 report from the High Point Enterprise described the debut edition as a family-friendly holiday light show running from Nov. 23 through Jan. 4, though that earlier description did not specify a year for those dates.
