Share the Wonder

In 2024, in response to Hurricane Helene’s harsh impact on the community and region, The North Carolina Arboretum launched a pay-it-forward option for Winter Lights ticket purchasing. This year, the initiative will continue.

You can purchase “Share the Wonder” Winter Lights tickets to brighten the lives of families in need during the holiday season. Through December 15, the Share the Wonder option will be available on the Arboretum’s Winter Lights platform.

All Share the Wonder tickets will be distributed to local, partnering nonprofit organizations and handed out at their discretion to specific families and individuals who they believe will benefit the most.
