LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Enchant, the world’s largest holiday-themed light event, today announced its slate of U.S. cities and venue locations set to host the unique event for the upcoming holiday season.

Opening officially everywhere on Black Friday (Nov. 25), the sprawling 10-acre event is produced annually on the playing fields of major league sports stadiums and iconic outdoor spaces.
