Palma Sola Botanical Park Shines Bright with Winter Lights Celebration
Palma Sola Botanical Park, a cherished gem in Northwest Bradenton, is set to dazzle visitors with its annual "Winter Nights Under the Lights" event from December 11th to December 15th. Running from 6 to 9 PM Wednesday through Sunday, this festive occasion promises an enchanting experience for all ages, offering acres of vibrant holiday lights, visits with Santa, live holiday music, and family-friendly activities.
In the 1990s, Palma Sola Botanical Park was created as a sanctuary for rare and exotic flora, transforming 10 acres of former nursery land into a botanical haven. The park’s mission to inspire appreciation for nature has made it a beloved destination for residents and visitors alike. Its carefully curated gardens and scenic landscapes provide the perfect backdrop for events like this holiday celebration.
Attendees can explore a gift market, enjoy seasonal treats like hot cocoa and cider, and participate in a tree-decorating contest. Children's crafts and a toy collection for Toys for Tots add to the community spirit, while food trucks serve delicious options for hungry revelers.
Admission to this winter wonderland is free, though donations are encouraged to support the park’s ongoing preservation and programming efforts. Located at 9800 17th Ave. NW, Palma Sola Botanical Park continues to foster community engagement through events like these, honoring its legacy as a place of beauty and togetherness.
This December, the park invites everyone to embrace the holiday season and create cherished memories under dazzling lights. For more information, visit the park's website or follow their social media updates.
