It runs from Nov. 20 through Dec. 27. Hurricane damage kept the event away in 2024 and 2025. The last show at the stadium took place in 2023.<\/p>\n<p>The 2026 show brings millions of lights and daily fun for all ages. Visitors can skate on an ice trail, watch live acts, visit Santa, and shop at a holiday market. Tickets are on sale now. Organizers think popular dates will become limited.<\/p>\n<p>The big draw is the world&#8217;s largest Christmas light maze. This year&#8217;s theme is Night of the Nutcrackers. The nutcrackers have gone missing, and guests must track down all eight to bring back the holiday magic.<\/p>\n<p>A giant Christmas tree and a full ice rink fill out the display. Setting it all up takes crews several weeks. A holiday market with themed food and drinks rounds out the site.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Few places have embraced Enchant the way St. Petersburg has, which is why returning to Tropicana Field means so much to our team,&#8221; said Jayson Babel, Senior Vice President of Social House Holiday, the team behind Enchant, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/thatssotampa.com\/enchant-christmas-returns-to-st-pete\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">That&#8217;s So Tampa<\/a>. &#8220;As this beloved venue opens its doors once again, we&#8217;re honored to be part of a season that brings people back together through light, wonder, and shared holiday memories. Whether guests are returning to Enchant or experiencing it for the very first time, we can&#8217;t wait to welcome them this holiday season.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Guests can also visit a few other spots on site.<\/p>\n<p>At Santa&#8217;s Landing, families can meet Santa Claus and snap photos. Enchant Village offers gifts and treats from local artisans and vendors. The ice skating trail suits both skilled skaters and first-timers.<\/p>\n<p>Theme nights are planned throughout the run.
