A World of Color is Blooming Bright at Naples Botanical Garden

Johnsonville Night Lights in the Garden

November 28, 2025 – January 4, 2026 (No event December 24, 25, or 31)

Step into a tropical winter wonderland as Johnsonville Night Lights in the Garden returns—brighter than ever! This family favorite livens up our Southwest Florida winter evenings with new experiences nightly.

Explore

A refreshed path guides guests through glowing landscapes, while playful new displays delight all ages. While the Performance Lawn once again beckons for young ones to romp and run, children (and children at heart) can now also let loose at Palm Hop, one of the Garden’s new Nature Play spaces, brought to life in lights.

Sip & Savor

Toast to the season with Fogg Café’s signature holiday cocktail, the spiked apple cider, dine amid illuminated gardens, or enjoy a sizzling Johnsonville brat or hot dog every Friday and Saturday night. Want to satisfy that sweet tooth on your stroll? Check the schedule for Dutchkinz, Monkey Bread Factory, and Donut NV evenings. For a touch of nostalgia—and salt—Mrs. B’s Kettle Corn or Fun Kettle Corn is a highlight most Tuesday evenings in December.

Order off the Fogg Café menu nightly for light bites or a full spread. For a private dining experience with groups of 10 or less, ask about our Premium Patio Package by calling 239.325.1354 or emailing us at tickets@naplesgarden.org.
