The annual Garden d’Lights display is returning for its 30th year at Bellevue Botanical Garden, running from Saturday, Nov. 30, through Tuesday, Dec. 31. The event will be closed on Christmas Day.
The display features over half a million lights arranged in different shapes, including plants, flowers, animals, and a meandering river, all set within the natural landscape of the garden.
Visitors can also enjoy live music performances from local groups on select nights. The Copper Kettle Coffee Bar, located at the Shorts House, will have hot drinks and snacks, while the Trillium Store has gifts for purchase.
General admission tickets are priced at $8 and are valid from 4:30 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. on most nights. Special discounted nights will be held from Dec. 2-5 and Dec. 9-12, where tickets will be $5, with hours from 4:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.
Admission is free for children 10 and under. Tickets are date- and time-specific and must be purchased online at BellevueBotanical.org/garden-dlights.
Parking in the Bellevue Botanical Garden lot is available for $5 per vehicle. Free parking is also available at Wilburton Hill Park, located a quarter-mile east of the garden. A free electric shuttle service, BellHop, is available for transportation to the garden from downtown Bellevue.
