Bonus: Thanksgiving Point Luminaria
It’s a bit of a jaunt, but not too far to go for this enchanting one mile walk through the captivating Ashton Gardens. The Grand Allee’s 8,000 programmable luminaries blanket the sweeping hill, where each one acts as a pixel in a moving picture of blooming poinsettias, flying reindeer, and dynamic symbols of the season. And on top of that 40-foot hill, you’ll be met with the colossal 120-foot tree—all lit up and ready to be admired.
Continue your holiday stroll while indulging all your senses in special touches like s’mores at the festive fire pits, hot chocolate and sweets from the gift boutique, interactive game areas for children and adults alike, even peppermint-scented mulch!
Dates and times are limited. Purchase tickets beforehand because they don’t guarantee the availability of walk-up tickets!
