ATLANTA — The Atlanta Botanical Gardens is hosting the Garden Lights, Holiday Nights event again this year. The event, however, will feature new safety protocols and will have limited capacity.

Ticket holders that participate in the Garden Lights, Holiday Nights event can look forward to strolling through the magical tunnel of light, dancing, refreshments and numerous lighted sculptures along the garden path. While the event will feature plenty of familiar attractions, the Atlanta Botanical Gardens are also offering some new twists.

To combat the COVID-19 pandemic, the Atlanta Botanical Gardens will also be taking certain safety measures for the event. Nightly capacity within the gardens has been reduced. Masks are required indoors for all guests over two years old and strongly recommended outdoors when social distancing is not possible. Many of the garden pathways have also been designated for one-way traffic.

Hand sanitation stations have been placed throughout the garden. No tickets will be sold on-site, so visitors will have to purchase tickets online ahead of time.
