November 28-30, December 5-7, December 11-23, December 26-30 and January 2-3

This year marks the 29th Annual Holiday Light Show at Rotary Botanical Gardens, Rock County’s most beloved winter tradition and one of the Midwest’s top holiday destinations.

From November 28, 2025, through January 3, 2026, 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.

The 29-night event 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.

This year we’re also excited to launch our first-ever Holiday Market, running December 13–23. Shop unique gifts, handmade treasures, and seasonal favorites while enjoying the festive atmosphere of the Gardens. We hope this will become a cherished annual tradition.

Doors open 4:30 pm.  Last ticket sold 8:30 pm.

Admission is $15 for adults purchased online ($18 at the gate), $5 for children 3-12 and free for 2 & under.
