See over a million holiday lights at this Fort Worth event. Here’s how to get tickets
Over a million holiday lights are illuminating the Fort Worth Botanic Garden this winter.
For a third consecutive year, Lightscape is lighting up the 120-acre Fort Worth campus until Jan. 5, 2025. The over one mile long walking trail features Christmas lights and art installations set to holiday music.
Fort Worth is the only city in Texas hosting a Lightscape installation this year. Overall, 80% of this year’s trail is new and reimagined, including 20 custom-designed installations.
“It is our great honor to serve as the host city for the only Lightscape in the state of Texas in 2024,” said Patrick Newman, Fort Worth Botanic Garden CEO and president, in a press release.
New this year at Lightscape is a Texas section complete with an illuminated Texas flag.
Other Texas highlights include giant nutcracker dolls, Christmas cacti and a field of illuminated bluebonnets. A few returning, yet reimagined, fan-favorite installations are back this year, the company said.
The winter cathedral is a 110-foot-long installation illuminated by tens of thousands of LED light globes. The star tree and sea of light, are a field of 2,000 color-changing lights leading to a 40-foot illuminated Christmas tree.
Along with the illuminated trail, guests will find plenty of holiday mainstays at Lightscape.
