RALEIGH, N.C. — Pullen Park's popular Holiday Express remains a hot ticket for families.

Tickets for the event, which is returning after a two-year hiatus, sold out within 90 minutes on Thursday morning.

The popular, family-friendly event, didn't take place in 2020 due to COVID-19. Then, in 2021, there weren't enough staff to host the event.

The event will be held again in 2022 on Dec. 1-11 and Dec. 13-18 from 5 p.m. to 9:30 p.m.

Express tickets went on sale at the city of Raleigh's RecLink website at 9 a.m. on Nov. 10, and they are expected to sell out fast based on previous years. The cost per ticket is $15. However, a ticket is not required for anyone 12 months old and younger.

Events this year include a train ride with holiday lights, blizzard boogie dance party, arts and crafts, inflatables and carnival games, a Santa appearance, the carousel, carolers, s’mores and more.

Volunteers are needed. If interested, contact holidayexpress@raleighnc.gov or 919-996-6468.
