## About

Fort Worth Botanic Garden presents Christmas in the Garden, an enchanting nighttime illuminated walking trail meandering through 110 acres of lush cultural district landscapes. The internationally acclaimed one-mile production features hundreds of thousands of twinkling LED lights woven across botanical trees, illuminated kinetic sculptures, and breathtaking architectural light displays. Highlights include the soaring Cathedral of Light constructed with tens of thousands of gentle arches, the flickering Fire Garden with real flame braziers, and animated musical choreography illuminating the reflecting lagoons.

Along the wide, paved garden promenade, guests can stop at cozy festive stations to roast marshmallows for gooey s’mores, enjoy gourmet hot cider and craft beers, and visit Santa Claus inside Santa’s Village through December 24. Special themed evenings include dog-friendly 'Tails and Trails' nights on December 4 and 10, inviting families to bring their four-legged companions along the illuminated paths.
