Light Up Durham will offer up a magical weekend that all starts with The Lucky Strike Tower Lighting at American Tobacco on Friday night, December 5th at 7pm. The evening, quickly becoming a family tradition, will feature music by local school groups, SNOW, a countdown to the lighting of the Lucky Strike Water Tower and a few jaw-dropping surprises! Free light wands will be handed out to the first 500 people on the lawn of American Tobacco.

On the next day, Saturday, December 6th, Light Up Durham brings "Talent All Over Town" to five performance venues where more than 2,000 youth will ‘light up' stages with holiday songs and the magic of the holiday season. The five venues include American Tobacco Campus, The Carolina Theatre, Durham Arts Council, Durham Performing Arts Center, and St. Joseph's Historic Foundation/Hayti Heritage Center.
