 ights: November 20 - December 29\, 2026 (Select Dates)\nWhen most people
  think of the Outer Banks\, they picture an endless coastline of sandy b
 eaches\, fishing piers\, and crashing waves. But once the holiday season
  rolls around\, the Island transforms into a winter wonderland thanks to
  WinterLights at the Elizabethan Gardens in Manteo. Whether you're spend
 ing the holidays on the Outer Banks or just looking for a fun evening wi
 th family and friends\, this is one annual event that you won’t want t
 o miss.\n\n\nHistory of WinterLights\nThe Elizabethan Gardens first open
 ed in the early 1950s as a living tribute to Sir Walter Raleigh and the 
 Lost Colonists. Over the years\, many donations from around the world ha
 ve filled the gardens with beautiful statues\, stunning artwork\, and a 
 variety of plant species\, creating a one-of-a-kind place where visitors
  can walk through winding floral paths and discover something new around
  every corner.\n\nWhen WinterLights first started in 2010\, the goal was
  to simply encourage people to visit the gardens. Well\, it sure worked\
 , because over the years\, it has grown into one of the Outer Banks' fav
 orite holiday attractions\, drawing thousands of visitors each year! Dur
 ing the holiday season\, the 10-acre botanical garden comes alive with h
 undreds of thousands of twinkling lights that line the walking paths\, s
 parkle through the trees\, and bring holiday cheer.\n\n\nWhat to Expect 
 at WinterLights\nAs soon as you walk in\, you'll be immersed in an array
  of dazzling lights\, festive music\, and the cozy\, magical feeling tha
 t only the holidays can bring. Take your time strolling through the glow
 ing garden paths\, and discover beautifully decorated Christmas trees\, 
 holiday displays\, sparkling tunnels of lights\, and family photo-ops ar
 ound every corner. A crackling fire adds to the holiday spirit as childr
 en and adults sip hot cocoa and roast marshmallows. Santa typically make
 s an appearance every night from 6 PM-8 PM\, and select nights feature l
 ive entertainment. Don’t forget to take home a seasonal plant or holid
 ay souvenir from the gift shop. Tickets can be purchased online or at th
 e door\, but it’s recommended to buy them in advance because this popu
 lar event sells out fast!\n\n[caption id="attachment_17711" align="align
