Join American Tobacco as we celebrate the season IN PERSON with the lighting of the iconic American Tobacco Water Tower on Wednesday, December 1, 2021, from 6:30-7:30 pm in the American Tobacco Amphitheater.
Come early to shop and dine before the celebration begins. We’ll also have 2,000 light wands to distribute courtesy of our friends at Dominion Energy and NC 811.
This year’s show is packed full of some of the best young talents in Durham and the Triangle!

The fun will include special appearances by Wool E. Bull, Rudolph, Frosty, and Mr. & Mrs. Claus.
