About the Event

Lightscape returns to the San Diego Botanic Garden to kick off the holiday season on November 14! Be among the first to experience this internationally acclaimed illuminated trail, featuring brand-new artistic installations alongside returning favorites that transform the Garden into a mile-long wonderland of color, imagination, and sound. Enjoy seasonal bites and drinks as you wander through tunnels of light, glowing poppies, a field of fireflies, and other dazzling displays designed by international artists. This beloved holiday tradition is back and brighter than ever—perfect for families, date nights, and anyone ready to celebrate the season under the stars.
