Garden Lights Holiday Nights

About the Show

Garden Lights, Holiday Nights is back with even more bling than before! Glimmering with more than 1 million lights, the show blankets the Garden's 30 acres in every shimmering color under the rainbow.

New sparkling attractions include "Liquid Lights", spectacular lighting effects casting an icy cool vibe in the Cascades Garden, while "Starry Night Walk", inspired by Van Gogh's famous painting, features dozens of swirling stars twinkling along the walkway through the camellias. The Great Lawn is transformed into "Orchestral Orbs" - a one-of-a-kind topiary light show choreographed to holiday music.

Find enchanting frog elves (frelves) hidden along the paths and listen for Sounds of the Radiant Rainforest in the Fuqua Conservatory.

Garden Lights Glows Green

Garden Lights is the first major holiday light show to debut with not only the color green but also green principles as well.

It glows almost exclusively using more than 1 million energy-efficient LED lights, or light-emitting diodes, which are illuminated solely by the movement of electrons in a semiconductor material rather than a traditional filament. They not only consume up to 80 percent less electricity than traditional incandescent lights but also have a life span of five years or more, more than doubling the traditional light lifespan.
