Visit the #1 Christmas Town in Western North Carolina on Friday and Saturday nights in December and enjoy holiday festivities with the family! 

Reserve your own, private, horse-drawn carriage for a ride under the lights along historic Main Street.  Carriage rides will be available December 5, 6, 13, 14, 19, 20.  Visit www.exploreforestcity.com beginning December 1 at 12PM to make reservations.  Carriages can seat 4 adults or fewer adults plus additional children. Carriages are $50 for 15 min. Carriages load in Huntley Street behind the POPS concession stand.

The ice-skating rink will be open November 27, 28, 29, and December 5, 6, 12, 13, 19, and 20 from 6pm-until.  Located across Park Square from POPS the rink is a hit with both young and old alike.  Cost is $10/person and include skates.

Stroll through POPS and view the largest, lighted ornament in the region!  The ornament makes a great photo op for your holiday photos!  Also featured at POPS is the decorated, 14 ft. tree located on the small splash pad.

Explore Forest City will be selling hot chocolate, cider and coffee at the POPS concession stand on Fridays and Saturdays during Hometown Holiday Festivities.
