It may seem strange to visit the Denver Botanic Gardens at night, but with the addition of colorful lights, it is a dazzling way to celebrate the holiday season. Blossoms of Light at York Street opens on Wednesday, November 20, 2024, and runs through Sunday, January 12, 2024, including Christmas Eve, New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day. Hours are 4:30 p.m. to 9 p.m. Tickets are limited and many dates sell out. You must buy tickets in advance.

More than half a million LED lights transform the Gardens into a twinkling winter wonderland.
Blossoms of Light offers a 200-foot-long and 17-foot-tall choreographed light tunnel in the O’Fallon Perennial Walk.
The field of LED lights are sound-reactive, allowing visitors to change the color themes and movement patterns between pre-programmed holiday song cycles.
Colorful lights turn the Japanese Garden, South African Plaza, Cottonwood Border, Shady Lane and other gardens into magical winter landscapes. Carolers stroll the Gardens on select evenings.
