Press release from Buncombe County Recreation Services:
Due to the amazing response from the local community and inclement weather early in the show, the Lake Julian Festival of Lights will open for an encore show on December 28, 2017 from 6pm to 9pm. The encore show is an effort to offer anyone who may have missed out on the show an additional chance to enjoy the magic of the holiday lights. The show saw record attendance this holiday season despite having to close multiple nights for inclement weather. All valid tickets and vouchers will be honored at the encore event.
The Lake Julian Festival of Lights enters its seventeenth year of operation in 2017. The annual light show has become a local winter holiday staple offering an inexpensive and accessible family-oriented experience.

The drive circling the park becomes a magical journey through tunnels of dazzling, animated and stationary light displays.

Vehicle entry for the Festival of Lights is $10 per passenger vehicle and $20 for large vans, motor coaches, and buses.
