Dillsboro, NC

Dillsboro has been a tourist town since the late 19th century when the railroad first brought visitors to the “land of the sky” to escape the summer heat. More than a century later, Dillsboro has changed very little — a small country village with pristine white houses, rustic old shops, galleries, restaurants and quaint country inns.

Dillsboro, NC

Journey back to the days of yesteryear and experience holiday magic as the entire town of Dillsboro is transformed into a winter wonderland of lights, candles, laughter and song!

The Luminaries take place the first two weekends of December on Friday and Saturday. The shops stay open later, and other special offerings include horse and buggy rides, live music, holiday goodies including hot cider and cocoa, carolers, and a visit from Santa and Mrs. Claus.
