ABOUT GARDENS AGLOW

Gardens Aglow is a celebration of lights that has become a treasured holiday tradition. This event 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 view Heritage’s antique car collection. At the American Art & Carousel Gallery, take a ride on the 1908 Looff carousel and view winter scenes from our 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 Donuts truck, play with giant building blocks, warm up at a fire table, enjoy lighted tunnels, firefly lights, a model train display, and more.

We look forward to welcoming you to Gardens Aglow where you can enjoy Heritage in a whole new light!

Gardens Aglow takes place for 21 nights on the dates of November 29-December1, December 4-8, December 10-15, and December 17-23.
