WHAT: The Fort Worth Botanic Garden, in partnership with Sony Music, invites you to experience opening night of Christmas in the Garden—a spectacular holiday light event that transforms the Garden into a glittering winter wonderland.
From the Gingerbread Walk and colossal Texas Nutcrackers to a radiant, larger-than-life Illuminated Texas Flag and a breathtaking field of 1,000+ dancing LED bluebonnets, the trail features a fusion of tradition, whimsy, and Texas pride. Guests will also experience the serene glow of the Japanese Garden, a rainbow Christmas Tree Grove, and two vibrant walk-through tunnels—the Candy Cane Tunnel and the shimmering Magical Ribbon Tunnel.
Along the trail, Westland Hospitality debuts an all-star lineup of local favorites including JD’s Burgers, Magdalena’s, Pulido’s, Curly’s Custard, and Margie’s Italian Gardens. Don’t miss Curly’s exclusive event-only treat: hot cocoa frozen custard topped with toasted marshmallows.
Opening night also marks the beginning of nightly Santa visits through Christmas Eve, offering families the chance to meet the jolly old elf and snap keepsake photos.
