There are two more weekends for the Winter WonderLights display at the State Botanical Garden. The display, which has attracted visitors since opening in late November, comes down after January 8. It’s a half-mile trail of lights at the Garden on South Milledge Avenue in Athens.
From the State Botanical Garden…
On select nights from Nov. 23, 2022 through Jan. 8, 2023 the State Botanical Garden of Georgia at the University of Georgia in Athens is transformed at night into a wonderland of twinkling lights and dazzling displays.
The winter light show, presented by the UGA Office of the President, follows a half-mile fully accessible trail down Candy Cane Lane, past creatures stirring and shimmering snowflakes, through a tunnel of multicolored lights, through a cone tree forest and into a holiday market.
Along the way, visitors can roast marshmallows for s’mores over an open fire, and enjoy rich hot chocolate or cold refreshments.
Don’t leave without buying a Condor Chocolates Winter WonderBar, created especially for Winter WonderLights, with a portion of the proceeds going toward education and conservation programs at the State Botanical Garden.
Winter WonderLights was recently named the best local event in Athens in the Athens Banner-Herald Best of the Best Awards.
