Frederik Meijer Gardens & Sculpture Park is set to dazzle guests with the immersive holiday light spectacle ENLIGHTEN. Produced by the visionary teams at Lightswitch and Upstaging, the one-mile walk through the Meijer Gardens features cutting-edge light installations choreographed to music with interactive elements. ENLIGHTEN is open on select dates from November 27 through January 4.

Additional offerings include seasonal food, beverages, fire pits, glow merchandise, and family-friendly activities.

“ENLIGHTEN transcends the ordinary holiday event. It’s an immersive experience that fuses the finest elements of art, nature, and technology to captivate and inspire visitors of all ages,” said Charles Burke, President & CEO, Frederik Meijer Gardens & Sculpture Park.

ENLIGHTEN culminates indoors with a celebration of cultures and holiday traditions from around the world with the annual University of Michigan Health-West Christmas & Holiday Traditions exhibition. The conservatories, Garden Pavilion, and indoor spaces at Meijer Gardens are full of decorations, performances, and exhibits honoring global holiday traditions.

Tickets are on sale and range from $10-$20 for members and $12-$24 for nonmembers, depending on the date. Timed tickets are available at https://www.meijergardens.org/ENLIGHTEN/.
