About Gardens Aglow
Gardens Aglow is an event that has become a treasured holiday tradition. The experience features beautiful light displays throughout the gardens, festive seasonal décor, and fun activities for all.
At the J.K. Lilly III Automobile Gallery, visit with Santa in the 1913 Ford Model T and check out Heritage’s antique car collection. At the American Art & Carousel Gallery, take a ride on the 1908 Looff carousel and view winter scenes from the Currier & Ives collection.
Outdoors, stroll the lighted gardens with family and friends, roast marshmallows, go on a reindeer scavenger hunt, enjoy seasonal treats from Lilly’s Café and the Cape Cod Donut Truck, play with giant building blocks, challenge your group to lawn games, warm up at a fire table, and view the expanded model train display.
We look forward to welcoming you to Gardens Aglow where you can enjoy Heritage in a whole new light!
