Winterlights

PRESENTED BY BANK OF AMERICA

Winterlights

5–9 PM

It’s merry. It’s bright. It’s Winterlights presented by Bank of America at Newfields. Nearly two million lights will dazzle and delight during the eighth annual holiday tradition in The Garden. Lights will dance beneath your feet and twinkle overhead, reaching the very tips of 100-year-old trees and lighting the way.

Bundle up and enjoy the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra’s special rendition of The Nutcracker, Yuletide Celebration, and favorite holiday hits, all recorded for a dancing display of 300,000 LED bulbs on Landscape of Light. Guests will enjoy the larger-than-life ornament again this year on the second year of the Twinkling Trail. Glittering baubles will shine in the night sky above and Color Blossoms light the way through the woods along the the Interurban Railway.

The undeniable display of wintertime wonder extends inside the historic Lilly House again this season. All guests are invited inside the home to experience the more than magnificently decorated holiday house.

The more the merrier...Winterwonder Pass is available for guests looking for ultimate cheer.

Hearts and hands will be warmed by crackling firepits at Culinary Campsite at Garden Terrace. Satisfy your holiday sweet cravings with s’more kits, gingerbread popcorn from Just Pop In!, and giant chocolate chip cookies. Get in the holiday spirit—cocoa and ciders can be spiked with a shot from Uncle Nearest Premium Whiskey or peppermint vodka. Or enjoy a Winterlights-inspired Electric Reindeer brew from Sun King Brewing Co., or a spiced plum cider from Ash & Elm Cider Co.

Ticket must be exchanged before the date listed on the original ticket. Ticket insurance isn’t necessary for children five and under, or for Access Pass ticket holders. Ticket insurance covers exchanging ticket dates but does not apply to refunds.
