Indoor gatherings still aren't a good idea, but that doesn't mean we won't be able to celebrate the season -- things will just be different.

And this season's celebration is promising to be more spectacular than ever.

For the first time in its history, the exterior of The Breakers and its landscape will be decked out in festive lights, including 28 spruce trees strung with holiday lights along the two driveways. While this is a completely new experience, a lot of effort has been made by the same professionals who always decorate the mansion, so it's sure to be a wonderful and visually delightful experience.
The interior of the mansion will be decorated as well, but the focus will definitely be on the outdoor decor.

Both The Breakers and The Elms are participating, and the admission cost covers access to both.

We can’t wait to see what this gorgeous outdoor adventure will look like. Learn more about Sparkling Lights at the Breakers and get your tickets here.
