Lightscape Dazzles at San Diego Botanic Garden

The internationally acclaimed Lightscape transforms our beloved San Diego Botanic Garden into a winter wonderland of lights and magic once again.

For the third year running, Lightscape San Diego will illuminate the 37-acre garden with a spectacular one-mile trail of artistic installations.

New Sights to Delight

This isn’t just a rehash of last year’s show. The Lightscape team has been hard at work creating brand-new, eye-catching installations from international artists.

Of course, they’ve kept a few fan favorites from previous years because who doesn’t love a little nostalgia with their wonder?

A Global Phenomenon

Lightscape isn’t just a local treasure—it’s been wowing crowds in London, Chicago, Melbourne, and New York. Now, it’s our turn to bask in the glow of this world-class event.

More Than Just Lights

As we wander the illuminated path, we’ll encounter tunnels of light, glowing California poppies, and even a beautiful flame-skimmer dragonfly.

And let’s not forget the seasonal treats and drinks available along the trail—because nothing says “holiday magic” quite like a warm cup of cocoa under twinkling lights.

A New Holiday Tradition

SDBG President and CEO Ari Novy, PhD, summed it up perfectly: “This event has grown to become a holiday tradition for so many, offering new and exciting installations for visitors of all ages to enjoy each year.”
