Get Ready for Sparkle: Holiday Lights in Bloom at the Arboretum Opens November 29th

HAMPTONBURGH - Get ready to light up your season, because the 16th annual "Holiday Lights in Bloom" is coming soon!

Presented by the Orange County Department of Parks, Recreation, and Conservation, the lights program will run from November 29th to December 29th, every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday from 5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. at the Arboretum located at Thomas Bull Memorial Park.

Be dazzled by the magical display of lights and decorations as you stroll through the beautiful gardens. It may be chilly out, but the Arboretum will be in "full bloom" with beautiful, garden-themed light displays in the forms of flowers, animals, and insects. Children, and adults alike, will be charmed as they stroll through the various themed gardens created in lights.

"The Lights in Bloom exhibit has become a holiday tradition for families in Orange County," said Orange County Executive Steve Neuhaus. "The holidays are about spending time with the ones you love, and this month-long exhibit is a great way to do that. I look forward to it each year and hope other families enjoy it as much as I do with my own."

This is a walkthrough only display open to the public, and it's FREE. No buses or groups larger than 15 people. Pets are not permitted. Parking is limited, so please arrive by 7:00 p.m. to ensure you have time to park and enjoy the lights as they are turned off promptly at 8:00 p.m.

Trust us, this is not something you want to miss! So, mark your calendars, gather your loved ones, and join us for a spectacular evening filled with holiday cheer!

Due to construction on the Ottaway Education Center, the Friends of the Arboretum will hold their Holiday Boutique in the greenhouses in conjunction with the light show from Nov. 29th through Dec. 21st (closed Sundays).
