Descanso Gardens Hosts A Light Show Take advantage of the famed garden’s brand-new lights show this holiday season
From now until January 8, Descanso Gardens will host its brand new holiday season light show event, Enchanted: Forest of Light. Descanso Gardens, the iconic L.A.-area botanic garden, will, for the first time ever, be bathed in gorgeous color when for this “Enchanted” debut. For 43 nights, Descanso’s hallmark oak trees and botanical collections will be the stars of this brand new, exciting holiday season light show event.
Visitors will stroll along a one-mile walk through the Gardens to see eight large-scale light displays, three of which will be interactive, allowing guests to change the lights and sounds. Highlights include “Pool,” an interactive light sculpture by artist Jen Lewin in which people manipulate colors by walking over lighted pads, and “Symphony of Oaks” which invites visitors to control the sounds and lights in the Oak Grove. The towering, stately sycamores are bathed in glorious light which guests can control, using mounted panels to change the light effects.
Guests can enjoy a hot chocolate or a glow-in-the-dark cotton candy as they stroll around Descanso’s beautiful lake, which is specially lit to shine and sparkle in the night. A bank of interactive “tree controls” allows visitors to changes the lighting effects on the lake. See Descanso’s famous forests of camellias lit in gorgeous shades of blue and red to showcase the 600 varieties in the celebrated collection of this winter-blooming plant. Illuminated chandeliers and gazebo shapes complement the experience.
The Enchanted tour concludes with a spectacular light display in Descanso’s iconic Japanese Garden, which celebrates its 50th anniversary this year. Glowing red lanterns contrast with the traditional blue associated with Descanso’s Japanese Garden.
