Thousands of twinkling multi-colored LED lights wrap around towering native banyan trees, rare palms, and limestone grottos. Live holiday concerts, youth orchestras, and festive dance presentations take place inside the historic open-air Banyan Bowl amphitheater, accompanied by carolers strolling through the illuminated gardens. Young visitors can create holiday crafts at the Jolly Craft Corner, enjoy story time sessions, meet Santa Claus and the Grinch on select evenings, and enjoy after-hours access to the garden's ADA-accessible playground. Parents can warm up with spiced cider or craft holiday cocktails while kids enjoy gingerbread treats and hot cocoa. The flat, paved garden paths accommodate strollers and wagons easily, and parking is free on-site. ## Similar picks in Miami - [Pinecrest Nights of Lights — Selected Dates 2026](https://grassyknees.com/miami/activities/pinecrest-nights-of-lights-selected-dates-2026--listing-115a266c429e8a16b6769a3d) — Fri, Dec 4 (+14 more dates) · 6:30 PM – 10:00 PM · Pinecrest Gardens · All ages · Paid · checked Oct 28.
