Lightscape is an internationally acclaimed holiday light show with magical displays set along a beautifully illuminated path winding through the Garden. The captivating illuminations — blending new works unique to Texas, created by local artists, with favorites from previous Lightscape installations around the world — include an impressive towering arch tunnel sparkling with 100,000 lights.
Lightscape first premiered to sold out crowds in the U.K. and then Chicago and this year will shine throughout the Houston Botanic Garden this year.
The trail features a one-of-a-kind experience blending new works with favorites from previous Lightscape installations around the world, such as the Winter Cathedral, an impressive towering arch tunnel sparkling with 100,000 lights.
Guests will be able to enjoy festive food and drinks, including roasting s’mores, in addition to the mesmerizing light shows.
Lightscape is a truly unforgettable, family-friendly walking event that is ideal for holiday entertainment and get-togethers. Tickets are selling quickly, so be sure to buy yours soon!
