November 22, 2024 to January 5, 2025
Brooklyn Botanic Garden’s after-dark illuminated trail, returns this winter from November 22, 2024 to January 5, 2025. Now in its fourth year, Lightscape has become a contemporary classic for the New York City holiday season, offering a magical seasonal experience for visitors of all ages. Press are invited to the “Lights On” press event, when Cherry Esplanade will go from total darkness to a blaze of light, on Friday, November 22 @ 4:45pm.
This year’s Lightscape at Brooklyn Botanic Garden (BBG) has been reimagined with all-new light installations alongside returning favorites, created by artists from 10 countries on 3 continents.
The Garden is also presenting expanded food and drink menus (including a seated dining menu of winter specials, and an expanded bar in the Palm House), as well as a unique 20+-song playlist curated specifically for BBG.
“Lightscape is New York City’s most immersive and enchanting way to spend a winter evening, and enjoy the spirit of the season in community,” said Adrian Benepe, President & CEO of Brooklyn Botanic Garden. “This year offers another magnificent multi-sensory experience for everyone who steps onto the trail. The visual dazzle created by the world’s best light artists is complemented by a gorgeous soundtrack, and delicious food and drink to warm up with—all of it honoring the beauty of BBG. We can’t wait for New Yorkers and visitors to gather with friends or family, grab a hot cider, and experience the otherworldly magic of Lightscape.”
