Forsyth County issued the following announcement on Oct. 15.
GIFT VILLAGE CLOSED
Out of an abundance of caution, Forsyth County Parks and Recreation will not open the Gift Village at the Festival of Lights this year due to COVID-19. If you visit https://www.forsyth.cc/Parks/Tanglewood/fol/ you will be able to shop directly with some Gift Shop vendors and also you can still visit Santa, just virtually.
