Tens of thousands of lights, trees, snow, and displays as you stroll through the ballpark culminating at the Charlotte Christmas Village. Based on the centuries-old traditions of a holiday market, the Village at Truist Field brings shopping from around the world, traditional flavors of Christmas, unique handmade gifts, and live entertainment. Charlotte Christmas Village will also feature a European menu including bratwursts, schnitzel, and strudel, along with the popular gluhwein, hot cider, beers, and of course, hot chocolate.

Reminder – No CLTNYE – Modified Stay At Home order prohibits us from the 10p-Midnight concert, countdown to midnight and fireworks – none of that. But you can still pick up to go dinners and snacks and watch TV with family and your COVID bubble.
