Candlelight Christmas at Rocky Mount
Dec 4 – Dec 5, 2026
Rocky Mount State Historic Site
$18 Adult, $15 Child (ages 6+)
The crown jewel of Rocky Mount's holiday programming. Candlelight Christmas transforms the historic site into a glowing frontier homestead — hundreds of candles line the pathways, period musicians play in the cabin, hot cider warms your hands, and the living history interpreters create a Christmas Eve atmosphere that transcends time. This is the evening event that visitors drive hours to attend and the one that locals never miss.
