Lights Up! A Festival of Illumination at the Botanical Gardens

January 2 at 6:00 pm - 9:30 pm

$14 – $50

Visit the Tucson Botnical Gardens this holiday season for its second annual holiday light show, LightsUp! A Festival of Illumination. Be dazzled by over one million lights, dancing sculptures, and awe-inspiring luminaria displays.

A New Holiday Tradition

Designed by nationally known public garden landscape architect Tres Fromme, the Gardens transforms into a carefully curated and artfully sequenced series of illuminated experiences. Thousands of LED lights illuminate each tree, and custom-built, oversized structures delight the senses. These include the light tunnel, dancing cypress-inspired spindle trees, traditional punched-tin stars & trees, light curtains (great for photo-ops), and a dazzling display of luminarias like you’ve never seen before. All of these create an unforgettable holiday experience unlike any other in southern Arizona!

Grab a Snack and a Hot Cocoa

Edna’s Eatery is serving small bites, beverages, and holiday treats every night!

Thursday, Friday, & Saturday nights grab a bag of popcorn and something warm to drink while you enjoy the lights! J’s Kettle Corn and Peddler on the Path will be serving snacks and drinks.
