BLOSSOMS OF LIGHT AT DENVER BOTANIC GARDENS

November 13, 2012

Nightly Nov.30, 2012 – Jan. 1, 2013
5:30-9:30 p.m.

 
DENVER—See Denver Botanic Gardens in a different light this holiday season as it is transformed into a winter wonderland at Blossoms of Light. 
 
This spectacular display of more than 1 million colorful lights will be draped in elegant designs throughout the Gardens, illuminating the plants, trees and hardscape features. Thousands of lights in the UMB Bank Amphitheater are synchronized to holiday music. Light-emitting diodes (LEDs) make up more than a third of this year’s display, reflecting the Gardens’ commitment to conservation and sustainability.

Blossoms of Light will feature romantic kissing spots, strolling choirs on select evenings, warm beverages and tasty treats and the popular HoloSpex glasses, which magically transform the lights into shimmering 3-D shapes. Guests will have a chance to get warm in Marnie’s Pavilion and the Orangery. The Shop at the Gardens will also be open to better serve our visitors with holiday spirit.

New This Year: “Fan Favorite Trees” will be decorated along the path, and a new path will feature a sparking net of lights!

Check our website (www.botanicgardens.org [1]) for a list of entertainment dates and performers. Guests can also enjoy warm drinks and delicious seasonal food while strolling.
