Holiday Lights in the Gardens is brighter than ever before. More than one million lights this year add extra sparkle to the holiday season
The Florida Botanical Gardens’ Holiday Lights in the Gardens has grown brighter than ever before, this year featuring more than one million lights. The family-friendly annual event offers visitors the perfect way to experience the magic of the holiday season. Holiday Lights in the Gardens will be held from Friday, Nov. 25 through Saturday, Dec. 31, every evening 5:30 to 9:30 pm. A donation of $4 per person, ages 13 and over, is suggested.
With nearly 70,000 visitors last year, the holiday event continues growing as a perennial favorite for residents and visitors of the Tampa Bay area. Now with more than one million environmentally-friendly LED and laser lights, the gardens are transformed into an even more stunning holiday wonderland filled with favorite seasonal and Florida-style displays around every bend of Pinellas County’s 35-acre botanical treasure.
A wide variety of skilled volunteer entertainers will delight visitors with their talents, including ballet dance troupes, local choral groups, and musicians performing jazz, bluegrass and folk. Visit Santa Claus every night through Dec. 23.
An up-to-date schedule of nightly entertainment is available on the Gardens’ website at www.flbg.org, or visitors can call the Holiday Lights hotline at (727) 582-5800 for recorded information.
