This concert series is one of Wilson’s most anticipated annual events. The series, held at the Vollis Simpson Whirligig Park, draws thousands of residents and visitors for regional bands, food trucks, frosty beverages, and community fun!
Launched in December of 2020, Electric Light Fantasy (E.L.F.) is a unique, innovative, COVID-safe event designed to draw residents and regional visitors to the Vollis Simpson Whirligig Park and Historic Downtown Wilson. The drive-in laser show, set to holiday music against a backdrop of spinning whirligigs, was an immediate regional HIT! About 1/3 of attendees were Wilson residents and over 60% were from outside of Wilson County! The 2021 show is back, even bigger with a new program and eight nights of exciting shows.
