The Magic of the Holiday Train Show and New York Botanical Garden Glow 2024 Come Together This Holiday Season!

Start a new holiday tradition and get outside this season with New York Botanical Garden Glow 2024!

On select nights, visitors of all ages can enjoy both the Holiday Train Show® and New York Botanical Garden Glow 2024, the Garden’s outdoor holiday light experience now back for its fourth year.

During New York’s biggest holiday celebration, the Garden’s iconic sights and buildings, including the Haupt Conservatory and the LuEsther T. Mertz Library Building, become dramatic, glittering canvases. Thousands of dazzling, energy-efficient choreographed lights and sound and picture-perfect installations create a spectacle not to be missed.

Grab drinks and light bites available for purchase at one of NYBG’s outdoor bars or the Bronx Night Market Holiday Pop-Up, and make the most of these nights out in New York City’s most beautiful holiday landscape.

After dark, join us for New York Botanical Garden Glow 2024 and discover the beauty of our landscape and historic buildings, illuminated across the grounds. And don’t miss the return of our fan-favorite Bar Car Nights, 21-and-over evenings featuring the Holiday Train Show and curated cocktails. These special evenings feature music, experiences, food, and more—making for the ultimate night out this season.
