Glowing Gardens is more than just a light show — it's a celebration of community, nature, and the holiday spirit. As we prepare for 2025's new and improved show, we invite you to join us as we usher in a new tradition at the Jacksonville Arboretum & Botanical Gardens that will undoubtedly become a highlight of the season in Jacksonville. Prepare to be enchanted, amazed, and filled with the joy of the holidays at JABG! Select dates Nov. 28 - Dec. 28, 2025.
What’s New This Year?
- A mesmerizing laser + fog experience on our Lower Ravine Trail — an immersive, glowing journey through the forest.
- A cozy, all-new S’mores Station, perfect for gathering with loved ones and creating sweet memories.
- The expanded Snow & Glow Zone for kids (and kids at heart), featuring an inflatable igloo, snowball play, light-up swings, glowing see-saws, and visits from Santa on select nights!
Plus returning favorites:
- Dazzling lit trees and curated light sculptures.
- A sparkling light “river” flowing through the gardens.
- Holiday characters and magical photo ops throughout.
