Brooklyn, NY—Lightscape, Brooklyn Botanic Garden’s after-dark, outdoor winter experience, returns from November 17, 2023, to January 1, 2024. Tickets to this year’s Lightscape are already on sale. Now in its third year, Lightscape has become New York City’s new can’t-miss holiday tradition: a contemporary classic for visitors of all ages.

This year’s Lightscape at BBG has been reimagined with a longer illuminated trail; and new, immersive experiences along the way. Visitors can explore the beauty of winter in moonlight as dozens of monumental light sculptures and over a million lights create a winter wonderland along a one-mile outdoor trail. A curated playlist of music enlivens the trail, and pop-up dining areas offer seasonal treats along the way.
