A Little Time and a Keyboard

 

Once again, Lightscape will dazzle Chicago area residents with artistic light displays highlighting the striking nature at Chicago Botanic Garden. Each year, Lightscape incorporates old favorite displays, reimagined favorites, and new creations. Every holiday season, I am excited to see the new magical blend.

2021's Lightscape at Chicago Botanic Garden.

The Fire Garden has long been one of my favorites! This year will feature a new rendering of the striking display. Pictured above is last year's design which highlighted the gentle flow of water below a graceful footbridge. Every year I am captivated by the dancing flames in a unique pattern. The flames add an intriguing fluidity.

This year's magical displays will include new Spark Ballet by the French artist Pitaya. Spark Ballet will feature lanterns both in trees and on the ground. Flickering lights inside the lanterns will appear to be dancing. Sounds pretty fantastic to me! Also new this year is Starscape by Australian artist Mandylights will entice visitors with over 700 handmade acrylic stars as brilliant flashes of color animate up and down a tunnel.

I am looking forward to winding my way through the 2022 version of Lightscape while being captivated by stunning display after stunning display.

Winter Cathedral is a favorite display featured every year at Lightscape.

The new holiday favorite Lightscape is in its fourth year and will be running on select dates from November 11, 2022 - January 8, 2023. Tickets are timed entry and staggered every 15 minutes. Some dates sell out quick, so I recommend reserving tickets soon. Flex ticket holders can enter the display anytime during the reserved day. Flex ticket prices include parking for 1 car. Ticket prices:

Adult	$30 member / $32 nonmember
Child	$14 member / $16 nonmember
Children 2 and under	Free
Flex Ticket	$75 per person (includes parking)

Lightscape is created in partnership with Sony Music and Culture Creative.

During the previous three renditions of Lightscape, we were awed at every turn. The interactive, engaging light displays and music features highlight the beautiful nature at Chicago Botanic Garden. Lightscape has become a wonderful family tradition!
