A beautiful, natural setting year-round, The Garden at Newfields in Indianapolis absolutely glows in winter thanks to the breathtaking Winterlights display. The garden is part of the 152-acre campus of Indianapolis Museum of Art, where the glimmering display will be on view from Nov. 23 through Jan. 5.

“More than two million lights illuminate The Garden at Newfields, bringing Winterlights to life,” said Jonathan Wright, The Ruth Lilly Director, The Garden and Fairbanks Park. “We designed Winterlights to engage all the senses — grab a warm cup of cocoa and follow the soundtrack through magical moments across the garden aglow. Dance alongside the Landscape of Light where hundreds of thousands of lights are programmed to music by the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra, and be awed by century-old trees wrapped in lights to the very tips of their branches. Equally perfect for date night or a big family gathering, a stroll through Winterlights is sure to create lifelong memories.”

This holiday season marks the display’s eighth year, and will be accompanied by seasonal musical favorites including a special rendition of “The Nutcracker, Yuletide Celebration.”

Visitors can follow The Twinkling Trail among Color Blossoms and 100-year-old trees decked out in lights. Festive holiday decorations are also on view inside Lilly House. There will be plenty of treats on hand at Culinary Campsite at Garden Terrace, including giant chocolate-chip cookies, gingerbread popcorn and s’mores kits, plus the option of a selection of hot cocoas and ciders, with or without a warming shot of peppermint vodka or Uncle Nearest Premium Whiskey.

Libations also extend to spiced plum cider from Ash & Elm Cider Co., and a seasonal Electric Reindeer brew from Sun King Brewing Co.
