Speedway Christmas

Speedway Christmas transforms Charlotte Motor Speedway into a massive holiday light display. This annual event features millions of lights synchronized to music, creating a drive-through experience. Beyond the main light show, guests can usually explore a Christmas village with festive activities, car displays, and often visits from Santa. It's a family-friendly tradition that marks the start of the holiday season in the region. This year's event kicks off on Monday, November 23, 2026, at Charlotte Motor Speedway in Concord, NC. The drive-through format allows visitors to enjoy the spectacle from the comfort of their own vehicle. It's a popular outing for families, couples, and anyone looking for a visually engaging way to get into the holiday spirit.
