Are we talking about the holidays already? Yes we are! And you heard it here first...Direct from its sold-out run in London, Lightscape will head to the West Coast to transform the 127-acre Los Angeles County Arboretum and Botanic Garden from November 12, 2021 through January 16, 2022. The enchanting, after-dark, illuminated trail will span one mile and feature spectacular sights with eye-catching artistic installations that come alive at night with color, imagination and sound. Be treated to a one-of-a-kind, immersive experience at the garden.

Wander into a festive world of wonder with thousands of twinkling lights in various attractions from the Cathedral of Light to the Star Tunnel and the Fire Garden. The L.A. Arboretum produces Lightscape in association with Sony Music, which amazes millions of people year after year with similar shows in multiple locations across the U.K. Additionally, Lightscape is creatively produced by Culture Creative,  a creative project and production management company based in the UK, and promoted in partnership with WAD Entertainment, a partnership between three music business veterans.

At the L.A. Arboretum, enjoy 127 acres of plants, natural landscapes, and historic architecture. The collection of 10,000 trees and plants from around the world transports you to exotic lands while Baldwin Lake and structures from the 1880s celebrate California history. The Arboretum has been a popular location site for Hollywood productions that have included the 1930s Tarzan movies, Fantasy Island TV series and Katy Perry’s Roar video. The Arboretum also is a resource for environmental stewardship and education for visiting schools from across L.A. County.
