Tickets are on sale now!

Join us for Janesville's most popular holiday tradition, now celebrating its 30th year!

The Holiday Light Show is a dazzling after-dark walk along the Gardens' paths, featuring more than 2 MILLION lights, themed light displays and animations for a family-friendly outdoor outing. To mark the milestone, look for a new tree feature, a "mistletoe moment" photo op, and fresh twists on your favorite displays.

The show runs November 27, 2026 through January 2, 2027, on select nights, and for the first time we'll be open on New Year's Eve! Doors open at 4:30 p.m., last admission is at 8:30 p.m., and lights go dark at 9 p.m. Check the full night-by-night schedule before you visit.

Tickets are $18 for adults, $5 for kids ages 3 to 12, and free for kids 2 and under. Same price online and at the door, flat rate. 

Our Holiday Market returns December 12 to 23 during light show hours. Shop handmade gifts and holiday finds from local vendors and artisans while you take in the lights.

Our Glass & Glow holiday ornament is back with a new red and white swirl design inspired by Candy Cane Lane. Grab the gift bundle: two Holiday Light Show tickets plus an ornament for $50, a perfect way to share the season with family and friends.
