With the holiday season now in full swing, it’s once again tome to “Light the Night” in the Capital City!

The third annual Salango Law Dirty Birds “Light the Night” holiday spectacular opens today at Charleston’s GoMart Ballpark, and it comes packed with all the family fun it has become known for. Ice skating, carnival rides and games, yummy holiday treats, and of course, over 2.5 million lights!
