The twinkling topiaries, a glittering gazebo walk, and spherical white pollen puffs will illuminate the grounds of the New York Botanical Garden this week with NYBG GLOW, New York City’s largest outdoor holiday light display. This light experience accompanies the garden’s beloved Holiday Train Show, which also returned this year for its 31st iteration.

New to the light show this year is a dazzling display on the water feature at the Native Plant Garden. Historic buildings such as the LuEsther T. Metz Library will be transformed into canvases for mesmerizing light projections. Check the NYBG website for exact NYBG GLOW dates and tickets.
