Nov. 14 - Symphony in Lights Kickoff at The Shops at Wiregrass

WESLEY CHAPEL / PASCO COUNTY, FL — The Symphony in Lights kickoff, presented by AdventHealth Wesley Chapel, returns to The Shops at Wiregrass on Saturday, Nov. 14, 2026. The annual holiday spectacular brings Santa’s arrival, a drone show and a holiday market to Wesley Chapel’s open-air town center, and it officially opens the holiday season at the shopping center. The center lists its hours that day as 10 a.m. to 9:30 p.m.

What to Expect

The Shops at Wiregrass describes the kickoff as a community celebration built around Santa’s arrival, a drone show and a holiday market, with more details to come. The center has not yet released a full 2026 lineup.

At last year’s kickoff, the celebration also included Christmas trees and garlands along Paseo Drive and Piazza Avenue, with more than 300,000 lights choreographed to seasonal music and snowfall. A Sky Elements drone show with 300 drones was double the size of the previous year’s. The center has not said whether those elements return this year.

Santa Photos and the Holiday Market

An Eventbrite listing shows Santa photos at The Shops at Wiregrass starting at 11 a.m. the same day. A Tampa Bay Markets listing for the event’s holiday market shows hours of 5 to 9:30 p.m. as part of its 2026 holiday event series.
