Dazzling Nights, Central Florida’s annual holiday light spectacular, will return to Harry P. Leu Gardens (Website) from November 20 through January 3, with new immersive environments and a larger live entertainment lineup, according to the official press release.
The event is presented by AdventHealth and produced by Creative City Project (Website) and Memoir Agency (Website). Harry P. Leu Gardens sits on 50 acres near downtown Orlando and hosts the mile-long walking experience each night from 5:30 to 9:15 p.m.
New additions this year include a 50-foot snowman in the Rose Garden with live holiday music, a Twinkle Market for shopping and dining, and a disco-ball dance area beneath the treetops. Guests can also walk through a 60-foot illuminated poinsettia tunnel and a meadow filled with lit-up forest creatures, according to the official press release. The event also introduces a high-energy acrobatic dance performance in a section called the Driftlands, along with an obstacle course called the Yeti Mine Adventure in the Crystal Kingdom area.
The Sparkling Express Shuttle returns this year, offering transportation between offsite parking and the Gardens with its own choreographed light show.
Tickets start at $35 for adults and $33 for children ages 4 to 12, with children 3 and under admitted free. All on-site parking is valet only, at $49. Tickets are sold for specific dates and times and are available in advance HERE.
Last year’s event drew an estimated 97,000 people. Leu Gardens gets an estimated 300,000 visitors each year.
