Christmas at Cantigny Light Show

Cantigny’s gardens become an outdoor holiday light walk, with illuminated trees, large floral sculptures, seasonal scenes and displays set to music. Visitors follow garden paths through the installations at their own pace, making this an evening outing for families, friends or couples.

What to expect

The light walk is a ticketed attraction. Optional experiences are sold separately: the Christmas Spirits package is listed as a $40 upgrade with three seasonal drinks and a souvenir mug, while Fireside S’mores for Two is a $35 upgrade with cocoa, mugs and a s’mores kit. Check eligibility and ticket inclusions when booking. The January 3 listing specifically allows dogs for this evening; review Cantigny’s dog policies before bringing a pet.

Plan your visit

Purchase admission for your chosen date, allow time for the outdoor walk and wear layers and shoes suitable for winter paths. Cantigny advertises an advance-booking parking offer; check the terms on your purchase. Groups of more than twenty can contact the organizer about its published 10% ticket discount.

Listed date: Sunday, January 3, 2027 at 4:30 pm–9:00 pm Central Time. Location: Cantigny, Wheaton.
