A 50-foot-tall tree from Sugar Mountain Nursery in Banner Elk, N.C., will light up when the Carolina Panthers and Charlotte FC host the annual Tree Lighting Festival at Bank of America Stadium on Nov. 26 from 6-8pm.
What to expect: Sir Purr, Sir Minty, the Black & Blue Crew, Carolina Panthers TopCats and Purrcussion will perform before the tree lights up. Then you can head inside the stadium concourse to decorate your own football helmet or create a soccer ornament, write a letter, grab some hot chocolate or take photos.
Vendors from western North Carolina will be stationed throughout the concourse in collaboration with Explore Asheville.
The event is free, but mobile tickets are required and the stadium's clear bag policy will be in effect.
