Walk Through One Million Holiday Lights at the Lewis Ginter GardenFest of Lights in Virginia

What is your favorite thing to do during the holiday season? Besides spending time with my family, I absolutely love seeing all the dazzling light displays. And if I can combine the two, that would be the ultimate Christmas gift for me. Fortunately for us, there are tons of family-friendly holiday events in Virginia. One of our favorites is the annual Dominion Lewis Ginter GardenFest of Lights in Virginia. Each holiday season, the beautiful Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden near Richmond in Henrico is positively transformed into a magical spectacle of glowing displays, trees, and other festive exhibits. Sip on hot cocoa and enjoy the magic of the season with your friends and loved ones at the best holiday lights in VA.

If you've yet to experience the Dominion Lewis Ginter GardenFest of Lights in Virginia, this is your year as the dazzling display has been voted the "Best Botanical Garden Holiday Lights Show” in the United States.

Beautiful any time of the year, Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden is positively radiant under the glow of one million dazzling lights. Visitors of all ages will enjoy the opportunity to walk through the garden and admire how the trees and plants have contributed to one of the best light displays in Virginia, all wrapped in colorful lights.

This year's theme "Homes & Habitats: A Celebration of Connection" allows us to enjoy the garden's glow while immersed in nature and celebrate the “beauty and importance of interconnected environments.” I truly love this theme as it will show how the rhythmic seasons of life connect us all. Those visiting these holiday lights in Virginia also have the opportunity to meet Santa Claus himself in the Conservatory.

One of our favorite parts of the whole event is appreciating the uniqueness in each and every light display and feeling the love emanating forth at this celebration of Christmas in Virginia. A returning family favorite is a freshly cut, live tree in the Conservatory, all decked out in a botanical theme.

Whether you're going with a romantic interest, family, or friends, you're bound to feel spellbound by the Dominion Lewis Ginter GardenFest of Lights in Virginia holiday walk-thru event.
