Festival of Lights

Celebrate with us!

Ring in the Christmas season with Gardner-Webb University’s Festival of Lights.

The annual Festival of Lights will be the last event of the University’s Founders Day Celebration. The program begins at 7 p.m. in Dover Theatre, followed by a reception in Tucker Student Center. A beloved Christmas tradition since 1984, the event will include all the favorite activities that area families have enjoyed in the past—reading of the Christmas story, singing carols, musical presentations, luminaria-lined walkways, and lighting of the Christmas tree.
