Trail of Lights Nov 20 – Dec 24, 2012 Waldensian Trail of Faith Valdese,
NC 28690 In its 11th year, this event continues to be a favorite of the
holiday season. Using close to 100,000 lights, this beautiful Christmas
light display is unique because it not only showcases the traditional
Christmas theme but also includes several displays intertwined with
Waldensian Culture. The gift shop is open and ready to serve hot
chocolate. Volunteers are very knowledgable in Waldensian History.
