The holiday season is upon us. With many events changing course this year, the Chicago Botanic Garden in Glencoe is bringing back its vibrant Lightscape event.
Lightscape takes guests through the already majestic gardens, decorated with thousands of twinkling lights. The enchanting, after-dark, illuminated trail will include an all-new path filled with favorite artistic installations, such as the Cathedral of Light, along with many new features to surprise and delight the senses created by local artists. Attendees will enjoy trailside hot bites and seasonal drinks as they leisurely stroll the mile-long trail with family and friends.
Keeping social distancing in mind, this year’s trail has been designed with modifications to keep visitor safety in mind. New procedures include staggered arrival times and requiring face coverings.
