Since 2013, Garden GLOW has become a holiday tradition in St. Louis, offering a unique and immersive experience as guests walk through over 2 million lights. Each year, the light show presented by Wells Fargo transforms the Missouri Botanical Garden into a dazzling winter wonderland, complete with mesmerizing exhibits, musical light shows, delicious holiday treats, cozy rentable fire pits and plenty of photo opportunities to capture these unforgettable moments.

New this year, the Garden is adding two new areas to connect visitors with our botanical mission. The Grand Grove will feature a dozen vibrantly glowing faux oak trees to highlight the Garden’s extensive living oak collection, which contains over 60 species of oak trees. A new addition to the Victorian District will be a glowing, golden meadow that beautifully mimics the prairie restoration work the Garden is doing at Shaw Nature Reserve.

The Garden will also be debuting a 15-foot glowing snowflake - a perfect place for a family photo or surprise engagement.

Guests can enjoy some tasty treats at Garden GLOW with a new vintage candy shop selling old-fashioned candies, as well as freshly roasted nuts available at the Visitor Center.

You don't want to miss out on one of the largest and most immersive light shows in St. Louis. Garden GLOW is happening November 16, 2024–January 4, 2025, and tickets are on sale now at mobot.org/glow.

What's in Bloom?

The light displays are the star of the show each night during Garden GLOW. Daytime visitors can enjoy tropical blooms and escape the cold in our conservatories including the Climatron, Shoenberg Arid House and Linnean House.
