Join CBC as we light towers in Raleigh, Durham and Rocky Mount

At 7 p.m. on Nov. 30 the tradition is tripled. WRAL will light towers at WRAL's Western Boulevard studios, on American Tobacco Campus in Durham and at Rocky Mount Mills.

Join WRAL on Nov. 30 as we celebrate one of our favorite holiday traditions - the 64th annual lighting of the WRAL-TV tower, creating a 300-foot beacon to light Santa's way to Raleigh.

We'll also light the towers at our sister properties at the American Tobacco Campus in Durham and Rocky Mount Mills.

You can watch the WRAL Tower Lighting Special to see all three towers lit on WRAL-TV and WRAL News Plus from the comfort of your home.

Or choose to celebrate with us in person in Durham or Rocky Mount. Each ceremony has musical guests, prizes and photo opportunities.

WRAL Tower Lighting Special Debra Morgan and Gerald Owens will head up the WRAL Tower Lighting Special 2022, with Dan Haggerty live from Durham and Michelle Mackonochie live in Rocky Mount. WRAL anchor/reporter Chris Lovingood will be the in-person emcee at the Durham celebration.

In Raleigh, we will turn the 300-foot WRAL TV tower into the area's largest lighted tree for the 64th year.

There will be fantastic entertainment, including a performance by 9-year-old Broadway actress Ava Gail Prince, the Durham Children's Choir and performing artists Sicily and Matty Russo.
