Looking at holiday lights is one of my favorite things to do in the winter. In the Outer Banks, there are plenty of places that you can visit to see twinkling lights! Wondering where to start? We recommend checking out WinterLights at the Elizabethan Gardens in Manteo.

WinterLights is a beloved local holiday tradition. During the event, you'll get to stroll through illuminated garden walks, discovering the joy of the season as sparkling lights transform the ten-acre Elizabethan Gardens into an enchanted wonderland. The atmosphere is cheery and festive, with darling holiday decor, crackling open-air fires, and other charming touches. A variety of themed activities add to the fun!
On many nights throughout the season, Santa will be in attendance. Bring the kids and get a cute photo taken! Other special programs include face painting, Christmas carolers, and live music. You can also shop for seasonal plants and holiday gifts in the Gift Shop and Nursery throughout the event's run!
