The annual holiday lights experience Dazzling Nights is returning to Leu Gardens this month, bringing a new and expanded experience to Orlando\u2019s holiday tradition.<\/p>\n

The 6th annual rendition of the event takes place from Nov. 28 to Jan. 4 and will see Leu Gardens transform into a winter wonderland filled with lights, displays, illuminated sculptures and music. The family-friendly event invites guests on a mile-long interactive holiday journey created by Creative City Project.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Highlights this year include a 50-foot star in the Rose Garden, live holiday music and the all-new Holiday Village, where guests can shop, sip and stroll among dozens of crystal chandeliers. Visitors can join a snowball fight with elves, dance through drifting snow and play among towering Yetis in the Crystal Kingdom.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Guests can also journey through Candy Cane Crossing, filled with oversized candy canes and lollipops, and marvel at The Cathedral, an 80-foot immersive homage to stained glass and a meadow of illuminated butterflies and fireflies. Also new in 2025 is a giant illuminated owl, designed by the Leu Gardens horticulture team as the centerpiece of The Woodlands, surrounded by thousands of glowing lights hanging from the trees above<\/p>\n

The Sparkling Express will offer shuttle service between the off-site parking and gardens, complete with a synchronized light show to holiday music. Sweet treats, festive beverages, and live entertainment nightly will round out the experience.<\/p>\n

Leu Gardens. \u201cThis enchanting experience offers residents, visitors, and families a chance to celebrate the season together.
