Speedway Christmas still shines brightly

CONCORD, N.C. — If you’re still in the holiday spirit, Speedway Christmas is open for its 14th season through Jan. 7.

The drive-thru portion features dozens of new displays and the newly designed and configured concourse features new tunnels.

The Christmas Village is open Thursday through Sunday and features a new illuminated walking trail, fire pits for roasting s’mores and a rotating lineup of area craft vendors and merchants.

New this year, the Fan Zone will feature four 250-foot tubing lanes for visitors of all ages to enjoy. The tubing hill will be open through Dec. 31.
