GardenFest of Lights is back at Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden from Monday, Nov. 18 through Wednesday, Jan. 5.
The theme “Homes & Habitats: A Celebration of Connection” brings millions of lights to line garden paths, decorate trees, and form sculptures. Visitors will be able to explore different ecosystems through displays inspired by wetlands, rainforests, deserts, and more.
Bonus: Don’t miss the live tree outside the Conservatory and light tunnel in the Central Garden.
While meandering the gardens, guests can also get warm by the fire, enjoy hot drinks, and examine intricate model trains in the Kelly Education Center.
Get tickets in advance — each night has timed arrivals. There are a number of special nights, including dog-friendly dates and live music on select Tuesdays.
Heads up: The Garden is closed on Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve, and Christmas.
