Celebrate the holiday season at Holidays at the Garden, Daniel Stowe Conservancy’s annual holiday lights exhibit in Belmont, NC. From November 28 through December 28, millions of twinkling lights transform the Gardens into a sparkling winter wonderland, with illuminated pathways, dancing fountains, and festive displays throughout the grounds.

Gather with family and friends to stroll through the glowing Gardens, warm up beside an outdoor fire, and enjoy seasonal treats and warm beverages. Big Leaf Café offers holiday refreshments and unique gifts, while the dazzling Orchid Tree outside the Great Hall provides a memorable backdrop for holiday photos.

The festivities offer even more ways to enjoy the season, with illuminated displays around the Prairie Castle Playground, visits with Santa on select Friday and Saturday evenings in December, live music on select nights, and an adults-only speakeasy featuring holiday cocktails.
