LIGHTSCAPE AT BROOKLYN BOTANIC GARDEN RETURNS FOR THE 2024 HOLIDAY SEASON

Lightscape, Brooklyn Botanic Garden’s after-dark illuminated trail, returns this winter from November 22, 2024 to January 5, 2025. Now in its fourth year, Lightscape has become a contemporary classic for the New York City holiday season, offering a magical, outdoor winter experience for visitors of all ages.

This year’s Lightscape at Brooklyn Botanic Garden (BBG) has been reimagined with all-new light installations alongside returning favorites, created by artists from 10 countries on 3 continents. The Garden is also presenting expanded food and drink menus, as well as a unique playlist curated specifically for the Garden.

The restaurant space, which is home to Yellow Magnolia Café most the year, will transform into Lightscape Lodge while next door, the Palm House event space will become Lightscape Bar, featuring  festive winter classics, specialty cocktails, a kids’ menu, and don’t-miss desserts. Along the trail, visitors can also indulge in hot chocolate (spiked or not!), mulled wine, hot cider, and other beverages, with sweet and savory handheld treats, as well as heartier fare at the Canteen. More information and updated menus can be found here.
