Enchant Christmas light show won’t be at Tropicana Field this year

Tampa Bay, FLLocal News

The Enchant Christmas light show, a beloved holiday attraction at Tropicana Field, will not be held this year, marking a notable absence in the local festive calendar. This decision was made months prior to Hurricane Milton's damage to the stadium, indicating a shift in the event's planning. Since its debut in 2019, the light show has drawn families to enjoy its spectacular displays, including light tunnels, ice skating, and a vibrant holiday market. Despite its popularity, Enchant Christmas is reducing its footprint significantly in 2024, with only three planned locations: Seattle, Las Vegas, and San Jose. A former representative of the company revealed that the decision to withdraw from St.

Petersburg was communicated during the summer, yet no clear reason was given for the change. This annual event has become a staple for local holiday traditions, making its absence particularly impactful. The company, originally founded by Canadian entrepreneurs in Vancouver, had expanded its reach across multiple U. S. stadiums, but the scaling back raises questions about future operations.

As the community absorbs this news, local families may need to seek alternative holiday festivities in the region.
