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.
