Enchanted Forest of Light: Nov 22, 2026-Jan 09, 2027 (closed major holidays)

• 5:30PM-10PM

Deets: We’re halfway to the holidays, the wonder starts now!

Enchanted returns with brand-new areas, magical surprises, and unforgettable moments.

Celebrate Ten years of Enchanted Forest of Light with the debut of a laser light show on the Main Lawn ending in a “snowfall” finale, Tom Fruin’s luminous Houses move to the Oak Grove, and Giant Koi will appear in the Garden of Good Fortune to celebrate the Japanese Gardens’ 60th anniversary.

A Holiday Market featuring local craftspeople will also take place December 2–6 on the Main Lawn, open during the day and during Enchanted evening hours.

Can’t decide on a date? Grab an Anytime Ticket and experience the magic on the day you choose. For the first time ever, visitors can purchase “Anytime Tickets,” a flexible, date-free option that lets buyers lock in a price now and choose their evening later.

Hint for the Average Socialite:

• Tickets are available for sale July 1st. Buy early before prices increase in August!

• Members get a $10 discount on all timed tickets.

• Tickets only covers admission to the evening event, which is presented after regular Descanso Gardens business hours. To visit Descanso Gardens during the daytime, you’ll need to purchase a separate admission ticket to the gardens
