North Carolina is magical place to explore all year long. But the holidays create new and dazzling reasons to venture out of our comfort zone to discover exciting festivities that are only available during Christmastime. If you have yet to visit the lovely Daniel Stowe Botanical Garden found just 15 miles west of Uptown Charlotte, then maybe it’s time.
We’re aware that these uncertain times are limiting many aspects of life as we all practice social and physical distancing. While we’re continuing to feature destinations that make our state wonderful, we don’t expect or encourage you to go check them out immediately. We believe that supporting local attractions is important now more than ever and we hope our articles inspire your future adventures!

Holidays at the Garden takes place from November 29, 2019 through January 5, 2020.
Gather up friends and family and head to this festive event to explore acres and acres of holiday lights and also partake in fun festivities everyone will enjoy.
The special opportunity to explore this botanical garden after dark in this way only comes along one time per year and you won't want to miss Holidays at the Garden.
The event takes place nightly from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. Bring the kids for a festive evening everyone will enjoy. Santa will also be available on select nights. (See those dates at this link.)
Keep a keen eye out for the many garden and model scale Christmas trains running throughout the grounds. Few things are as enchanting as a holiday model train sweeping through the landscape.
The gardens are located in Belmont, North Carolina, a small suburban city found between Charlotte and Gastsonia. Coming from somewhere other than Charlotte? That's no problem! The garden is easily accessible from I-85 and I-77.
