Arboretum lights up for holidays
A new holiday light show at the North Carolina Arboretum in Asheville will open Saturday, Nov. 22, and run through Jan. 2, adorning the Arboretum’s most visited landscapes with spectacular light installations to celebrate the winter season.
In addition to the lights, Winter Lights will feature a nightly DJ and dancing on the newly completed courtyard outside the Education Center and a s’more station for guests to create their own gooey confections.
Guided by green principles, the design team created a show composed entirely of energy-efficient LED lights, which use 80 percent less energy than conventional lights.
Tickets, available exclusively through eTix.com, are date-specific and sold in limited quantities. No tickets will be sold at the gate. $18 adult; $16 children ages 5-11; free for children 4 and under. Discount for Arboretum members and groups of 20 or more.
