Internationally Acclaimed ‘Lightscape’ Now At San Diego Botanic Garden For The Holidays
Lightscape transforms the 37-acre San Diego Botanic Garden from November 18 through January 1, and the experience is breathtaking!
The enchanting, after-dark, illuminated trail spans one mile and features spectacular sights with eye-catching artistic installations from international artists that come alive at night with color, imagination, and sound.
Lightscape San Diego is finally happening!
“Visitors to the Garden will experience this internationally-renowned holiday light show, unlike anything San Diego venues have offered before. Following sold-out shows in cities around the world, we look forward to transforming the Garden into an enchanting, festive, after-dark spectacular where family and friends celebrate and make memories. We are thrilled to launch what we know will become a San Diego holiday tradition.”
Lightscape has been dazzling the world’s biggest cities over the last ten years including sold-out runs in London, Chicago, Melbourne, and New York.
This year, Lightscape plans to equally establish itself as a celebrated holiday tradition in San Diego.
Over one million twinkling lights
Set along a beautifully illuminated walking trail custom-designed for San Diego, Lightscape visitors walk a one-mile-long path with suspended strands and tunnels of light, a fire garden, lantern trees, and artistic installations, while toasting marshmallows over a fire and drinking hot chocolate and other seasonal drinks along the trail.
This one-of-a-kind, immersive experience at the garden guides visitors through a festive world of wonder with over one million twinkling lights in various attractions from the Cathedral of Light to the Star Tunnel and the Fire Garden.
