This is the last weekend for this year’s Winter Wonderlights display at the State Botanical Garden. The annual holiday light show, presented by the University of Georgia, wraps up Saturday night at the Garden on South Milledge Avenue in Athens.

The winter light show, presented by the UGA Office of the President, follows a half-mile fully accessible trail through a Winter Wondercave, along Jingle Bell Lane, into the Northern Lights and through a Cone Tree Forest, among other dazzling features.

Along the way, visitors can roast marshmallows for s’mores over an open fire and enjoy rich hot chocolate or other refreshments.

Winter WonderLights was recently named the best local event in Athens for the second year in the Athens Banner-Herald’s Community’s Choice Awards.

On select nights from Nov. 22 through Dec. 30, the State Botanical Garden of Georgia at the University of Georgia in Athens is transformed into a wonderland of twinkling lights and dazzling displays.
