The holiday season is upon us and Fort Worth knows how to celebrate. There are many events around Fort Worth but one must-see that will provide the backdrop for many cherished memories is the international sensation, Lightscape.
For the second consecutive year, Lightscape returns to the Fort Worth Botanic Garden.
There are over one million lights custom designed with choreographed sound to add to the magic of the event.
Popular structures are being brought back such as Bluebonnets, Fire Garden and the Winder Cathedral.
This year, they have added to the event with a “Christmas Village.” Here, guests are able to make s’mores over a fire pit, sip on hot cocoa and meet Santa Claus. According to the website, over 80 percent of this year’s Lightscape will be brand new.
A few noteworthy additions are Santa’s Grove, featuring Fort Worth’s-own “12 Days of Cactus Christmas” as well as the Sea of Light – a field of 2,000 lights leading to a 40-foot Christmas tree.
“It was such a fun way to experience the holiday season,” said Crystal Arrellano, a student at TCU. “I think it’s a must for anyone in the area.”
This year, Higginbotham signed on as the Lightscape presenting sponsor.
“We are privileged to champion both the Fort Worth Botanic Garden and Lightscape, which has quickly become a must-attend holiday tradition for Fort Worth families,” said Rusty Reid, chairman and CEO of Higginbotham.
The event runs through Jan. 1 with multiple dates offered throughout and beyond the season.
Tickets start at $28 during regular season, go up to $30 during peak season and drop to $23 later in the season. Average walk through time is 1.5 hours.
Tickets are available to purchase on the Fort Worth Botanic Garden’s website.
