The Charlotte Knights welcomed families and fans to Truist Field for the fourth season of Light the Knights Festival on Wednesday.

Truist Field has been filled with thousands of holiday lights, trees and displays to create a holiday wonderland. Adding to the excitement for families is the regulation-size ice rink and a 10-lane, 150-foot snow tubing hill.

“I think it is wonderful that you can be in a southern city like Charlotte and still get the fun winter activities like up north,” attendee Angelina Hurst said. “It’s nice to get the winter fun down here.”

A Holiday Market is open with 22 vendors, along with the Paper Mill Pub for patrons to enjoy a seasonal beverage.

The festival runs through Jan. 1.
