Blossoms of Light

See Denver Botanic Gardens in a different light this holiday season as it is transformed into a winter wonderland at the 19th Annual Blossoms of Light.

More than 1 million colorful lights draped in elegant designs will illuminate the plants and hardscapes throughout the Gardens. Romantic and popular kissing spots will return, as well as the popular HoloSpex glasses, which magically transform the lights into shimmering snowflakes, snowmen, and a limited edition of Happy New Year images. Seasonal entertainment will be featured Thursday through Sunday of each week for the duration of Blossoms of Light. Such as the life-affirming exhibit Chapungu: Custom and Legend, A Culture in Stone will be on display during this year's Blossoms of Light. Come behold the product of passion of these monumental stone sculptures from Chapungu Sculpture Park in Harare, Zimbabwe. Many of the 57 stone sculptures that now adorn the Gardens will be lighted.
