The Dominion Energy GardenFest of Lights has returned to Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden, and will be open to the public through Jan. 4 (closed on Thanksgiving Day, Dec. 24 and Dec. 25).  

Voted the Best Botanical Garden Holiday Lights in both the 2024 and 2023 USA Today 10 Best Readers’ Choice Awards, the Garden has once again been nominated for the honor in 2025.

In addition to walking through millions of lights reflecting this year's theme of The Elements, visitors will be able to view model trains, a 25-foot-tall live tree, a light tunnel, a fairy village, and a warming fire (s’mores for roasting available for purchase).  Special performances will also take place, featuring the Henrico High School Choir (Dec. 16), the Greater Richmond Chorus (Dec. 9), The Nutcracker (Nov. 18) and a jazz duo (Nov. 25).  

Advance tickets are required and are available online only; walk-ups are not guaranteed entrance.
