ST. PETERSBURG, FL (Aug. 03, 2021) – Tampa Bay residents will be captivated once again this holiday season as Enchant, the whimsical and heartfelt Christmas light maze and village, announced their return to the city from November 26-January 2. Known for transporting guests to a world of festive wonder, Enchant is proud to present The Mischievous Elf, the second in a series of five fascinating adventures.

Guests embark on a quest within the mystical forest of millions of twinkling lights and a world of wondrous  art installations as they journey to save Christmas. The adventure includes gliding down the Ice Skating Trail, sampling gourmet holiday treats from around the world, visiting the artisan Christmas market and meeting the Big Man himself all before stepping into the most magical Christmas light maze the world has EVER seen, all at Tropicana Field in downtown St. Petersburg.

“I can’t tell you how much it means to us to be returning to Tampa Bay this year," said Kevin Johnston, Founder and CEO of Enchant. "Providing magical Christmas experiences is at the heart of what we do, and I know I am definitely ready to go back out and celebrate the festivities with my family, and I can imagine many of our guests feel exactly the same way.

"Spreading festive cheer this holiday season has never been more important, and the whole team at Enchant Christmas can’t wait to welcome families and friends once more as they celebrate the holiday season together in-person. We are coming with two years’ worth of magical memories in one incredible adventure.”

This was a joyful, wholesome experience that had us grinning from ear to ear” (S.Hedrick/Google) and “Christmas lights overload, in a good way! Adorable kids. Ice skating. Flashing red cocktails.
