Now in its 30th year, Rotary Botanical Gardens will transform into a glowing nighttime experience featuring millions of lights woven through themed garden spaces, festive displays, and seasonal music. The show is designed for all ages and offers a peaceful, walk-through experience that celebrates the beauty of the Gardens after dark, while supporting their nonprofit mission. Because nights vary week to week, guests should check the Holiday Light Show website for the full schedule before planning their visit. The Holiday Market returns this season, running December 12 - 23 during regular HLS hours, with booths from local vendors and artisans offering handmade gifts and holiday finds. Several new features this year include:
- A beautiful new tree feature from the Gardens' Horticulture team
- A new "mistletoe moment" photo op
- The Gardens will be open on New Year's Eve
