Deets: Enchanted Forest of Light transforms the gardens into a nighttime wonderland with dynamic, interactive light installations. Highlights include the beloved stained-glass cottages by Tom Fruin, dazzling sculptures by HYBYCOZO, the Flower Power experience along the Promenade, and the luminescent Ancient Forest. The Descanso Railroad joins the festivities with custom holiday lighting. Enjoy seasonal drinks and snacks available for purchase throughout the evening.
New this year: Enchanted adds a new twist this season with two exclusive nights of music and mixology, happening December 10 and 11. Guests can sip craft cocktails while enjoying the smooth sounds of Yachty by Nature, a six-piece band delivering the best of late ‘70s and early ‘80s yacht rock. Performances take place at 6:00pm and 7:45pm and are included with regular Enchanted admission.
Hint for the Average Socialite: Purchase tickets.
