This winter, join us in a celebration of light unlike anything you’ve experienced before.
Throughout December 2020, you can expect the traditional elements of the Luminaria you love – candlelight, starlight, peace and tranquility. And you can expect to be dazzled by what’s new – the spirit of Luminaria, living on in a transformed experience.
This is winter. Extraordinary. Beautiful. Redefined.
Tickets on sale now! Don’t delay, as this popular event sells out every year.

Winter fine dining. Redefined.
Make winter even more special. Dine deliciously – and safely – with the people you love in a one-of-a-kind indoor setting, then step outside to enjoy Luminaria. The new Northern Light Dining Experience includes a three-course gourmet fondue served in one of the Garden’s unique, private, charmingly decorated indoor spaces. You and your group of up to six will have exclusive access to your dining space for the evening. Before or after your meal, you can enjoy the snowy illuminated pathways of Luminaria, sip some cider by a bonfire, and revel in the beauty of winter.
Note: The Northern Light Dining Experience has proven to be very popular and the initial ticket offering sold out in a matter of hours. We are working on adding capacity. Sign up to get notified when more Northern Light Dining spaces become available.

We’re Happy to supply these pits to Len and his staff and wish the event great success this year.
We’ll post pictures of the build on our blog.
