Winter Nights Under the Lights Returns to Palma Sola Botanical Park
Palma Sola Botanical Park is set to transform into a glowing holiday wonderland as Winter Nights Under the Lights returns from Dec. 18 to 21, inviting families to enjoy four evenings of festive cheer. From 6–9 p.m. on Thursday through Sunday, the park will be illuminated with acres of twinkling lights, accompanied by holiday music filling the air.
Guests can meet Santa and Mrs. Claus, snap photos with the Grinch, and browse the indoor holiday gift market inside the Galleria building. A variety of food trucks will offer dinner options, along with hot cider, cocoa, and adult beverages, with seating available for visitors to relax and enjoy the atmosphere.
Elementary school students will showcase decorated Christmas trees, and attendees will have the chance to vote for their favorites. The event will also include crafts, decorated displays, and opportunities to support Toys for Tots through donations of new, unwrapped toys.
Admission is free, with donations encouraged to support the nonprofit botanical park and help ensure its future community events. Winter Nights Under the Lights will be held at Palma Sola Botanical Park, located at 9800 17th Avenue Northwest in Bradenton.
