Holiday Lights in the Garden

Make the season shine at Holiday Lights in the Garden! A beloved Fayetteville tradition since 2011, Holiday Lights transforms Cape Fear Botanical Garden into an enchanting, walk-through winter wonderland filled with thousands of twinkling lights, dazzling displays, festive music, and holiday magic around every corner.

Stroll beneath the lights and make memories with family and friends. Meet Santa and The Grinch for photos, festive fun and a little holiday mischief. Experience interactive light displays and animations that bring the Garden to life. Capture the perfect family photo at festive holiday photo spots throughout the Garden. Enjoy the sounds of holiday music as you stroll through the lights. Indulge in seasonal food and drinks and browse the Vendor Market for unique gifts and holiday finds.

Whether Holiday Lights is a treasured family tradition or your very first visit, there’s no better place to celebrate the wonder of the season.

Thursday, December 10 is Dog Day, when leashed dogs may accompany their owners on this one night only.
