26th Annual Roper Mountain Holiday Lights

Are you ready for some magic and holiday excitement with lights, stars, and Santa? Consider a visit to Roper Mountain Holiday Lights, open through Dec. 30th.

A Greenville family tradition, Roper Mountain Holiday Lights is one of two not-for-profit holiday light events in the Upstate with all of the profits helping education and local non-profits.

2017 marks the 26th year of this great event which has become an upstate tradition for many families.

On selected nights, we’ll also have some of your favorite team mascots and performances by school groups. For more details, check out our Event Calendar.

After you have visited Winter Wonderland, continue on to the 1.5 mile drive through the large displays including Candy Cane Lane, Santa’s Sleigh, the Caterpillar, and many other family favorites.
