"Lightscape is an after-dark, illuminated spectacular that celebrates the beauty of winter with a festive trail winding through BBG’s 52-acre landscape, animated by over one million dazzling lights," BBG officials write.
The light show includes a "Winter Cathedral tunnel," an animated light installation at the Cherry Esplanade and a "Fire Garden" in the garden's Oak Circle, according to organizers.
