Winter Lights at the Arboretum

Winter Lights is a spectacular open-air walk-through light show made from over one million lights! Located at the North Carolina Arboretum in Asheville, North Carolina, this year’s event features favorites like the famously tall 50-foot lighted tree and the Quilt Garden, along with enchanting new details designed to delight and surprise. Tickets are sold per-vehicle, based on the vehicle’s size. There are 3 entry times available for each date- 6:00 p.m., 7:00 p.m., and 8:00 p.m. Attendees may enter the show anytime between the time shown on their ticket and 9pm. Tickets are date-specific and may be purchased in advance or at the gate upon arrival for an additional $10 per vehicle, space allowing.

To keep both visitors and pets safe, pets are not permitted at Winter Lights at the Arboretum. Service animals are always welcome.

Winter Lights is The North Carolina Arboretum’s largest annual fundraiser, and supports many parts of its mission driven programming.
