Holiday Light Show at Rotary Botanical Gardens

This year marks the 29th Annual Holiday Light Show at Rotary Botanical Gardens (RBG), Rock County’s most beloved winter tradition and one of the Midwest’s top holiday destinations. Guests of all ages are invited to wander wide-eyed through 20 acres of gardens transformed into a dazzling winter wonderland, illuminated by over 2 million lights and filled with festive displays, hot cocoa, carolers, and holiday cheer. This is an immersive experience that brings joy, wonder, and community together under the lights welcoming visitors, supported by volunteers, and raising essential funds for the Gardens’ year-round mission. New for 2025, guests will be invited to linger and celebrate in RBG's indoor Christmas Market, featuring artisan vendors with one-of-a-kind holiday gifts; a limited-edition 2025 holiday ornament; holiday food & drink; festive music & entertainment; and visits with Santa. All proceeds from the Holiday Light Show support Rotary Botanical Gardens’ mission to enrich lives through beauty, education, and the arts of horticulture. The light show will be open to the public on November 28–30; December 5–7, 11–23, and 26–30; and January 2–3.
