This past December, more than 7,000 people watched as bright lights and holiday-themed designs danced across the Hampton Inn and Suites' façade at Regency Centers' Phillips Place.
In its inaugural year, Regency Centers, together with Lincoln Harris, one of the most accomplished full-service real estate companies in the southeast, partnered with Duke Energy to bring a 'Winter Wonderland' to Charlotte’s premier mixed-use development. The six-story hotel was transformed into a interactive 3D canvas, combined with actors who brought the animated projections to life.
“Phillips Place is very excited to host the first annual Holiday Light Show in the Queen City. We look forward to this event becoming the holiday event and a Charlotte tradition for many years to come,” said Johnny Harris, Chairman and CEO, Lincoln Harris, Charlotte, NC.
The multi-evening show was accompanied by snow created specifically for the event, while visitors enjoyed extended shopping time and hot chocolate from Dean and Deluca

Teddy bears and stilt walkers
Goodie bags for the kids, and charitable donations benefitting Toys for Tots Charlotte (more than 1,890 toys collected!)
