Tropicana Field Lit Up For Countdown To Enchant Christmas

St. Petersburg Mayor Rick Kriseman, Tampa Bay Rays President Brian Auld, and Enchant Christmas Director of Construction Dave Fortune celebrated the beginning of a 10 day countdown to the World's Largest Christmas Maze and Market. The seasonal event is coming November 22nd to Downtown St. Petersburg at Tropicana Field.

The preview event included live entertainment, festive treats with Kahwa Coffee serving a special holiday latte, and Santa Clause. The preview event did get a little wet. Christmas lights were activated on the exterior of the Tropicana Field to mark the occasion.

"It does look like the holidays are officially here.", said St. Petersburg Mayor Rick Kriseman as the rain poured down. The Mayor thanked the Tampa Bay Rays and Enchant Christmas for bringing the event to St. Petersburg.

Tickets are now on sale to Enchant Christmas and start at $19.99 for adults. Family packages and military, emergency services, and student discounts are available for those with identification.

Enchant Christmas will run from November 22nd to December 29th. St. Petersburg is one of three cities selected to host the event joining Washington D.C. and Seattle. 30 local vendors will be present at the event for their Christmas Market. The event has drawn over 600,000 people to their other two cities in the past.

The Christmas Light Maze will feature a 80-foot lighted pine tree that's taller than the holiday tree at the Rockefeller Centre in New York City. There will also be an ice skating trail, carolers, seasonal dining options, Santa Clause, and more.
