On December 12th, 2023, we visited Daniel Stowe Botanical Garden in Belmont, North Carolina, to experience the enchanting holiday display of twinkling lights and shimmering water fountains. The garden transforms into a magical wonderland each year, with thousands of colorful lights illuminating the landscape and reflecting off the water. In 2024, the event runs most evenings from November 29th to December 29th from 5pm-10pm. Tickets are cheaper during weeknights. It is best to purchase them online in advance to secure a spot and confirm they are open on your date of choice. Though the garden isn’t very large, the beauty of the light displays creates a captivating atmosphere, making it a perfect holiday outing.
