GardenFest of Lights at Lewis Ginter

11.2024

Voted the best botanical garden holiday lights in the country by USA today last year, the ever-popular GardenFest of Lights returns to Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden this holiday season. This display, which features millions of lights, runs from November 18 through January 5. 

This year’s theme is Homes & Habitats: A Celebration of Connection celebrates the beauty and importance of interconnected environments. From vibrant wetlands to a lush forest and a vibrant savanna, every environment plays a vital role in the health of our planet and the species that inhabit the biosphere.

Model trains return to the Kelly Education Center nightly from 4 pm till 9:45 pm. Volunteers have worked hard at creating a themed display centered around Homes and Habitats that includes a lake scene, a wooded mountain, a farm, a town, and more.

And you’ll definitely want to visit The Warming Fire in the Children’s Garden –a great spot to warm up, drink hot chocolate, and roast s’mores, all available for purchase at the nearby Carriage House.
