Dazzling Nights Pittsburgh is a brand new immersive, walk-through holiday lights event for your 2023 winter bucket list that the entire family will enjoy! Thoughtfully planned throughout Pittsburgh Botanic Gardens, Dazzling Nights creatively uses lights to illuminate the natural elements of 65 acres of gardens into a perfect winter wonderland.

The first spectacle and photo opp of the evening will be the massive 30-foot tree that radiantly shines from head to toe. Other wonders include beautiful dancing waves of light in the twinkling fairy garden, dynamic firecracker walkways, and a spectacular pattern of brilliant lights to music during timed shows above the Lotus Pond.

Parents will hold hands lovingly as they walk through the colorful fog mimicking the aurora borealis while kids will giggle and gaze in delight at the Giant Bird's Nest entwined with lights galore.

While this is an outdoor event, you might even find yourself hoping for just a little bit of snow to make your night even more magical as you frolic through a 65-foot-long tunnel of lights. For more information on Dazzling Nights Pittsburgh, check out https://www.dazzlingpittsburgh.com/
