Lockerly in Lights

ABOUT

Holiday magic comes alive at Lockerly Arboretum during Lockerly in Lights, a beloved Milledgeville tradition that transforms the arboretum into a glowing winter wonderland. As evening falls, visitors can wander beneath sparkling canopies, follow pathways illuminated by dazzling displays and take in the festive glow surrounding Lockerly’s gardens and historic grounds.🎄

The experience is designed for a leisurely stroll, with plenty to see along the way as twinkling lights transform the natural landscape into a celebration of the season. It’s a chance to experience Lockerly after dark and enjoy the simple magic of walking through a landscape lit up for the holidays.

Lockerly in Lights is a walk-through experience only on all nights open to the public.
