The magical garden showcases all things that fly—fireflies, flying pigs, spaceships, dragons, and unicorns. Dominion Energy GardenFest of Lights is among the most popular family-friendly events in Richmond.

Special events in the garden include Merry Mondays when children can enjoy a Christmas storytime fireside with the Garden Keeper in the Library Reading Room. On that day, Santa will make an appearance in the Conservatory from 6 to 8 p.m. Caroling Tuesdays attracts holiday song enthusiasts. Listen to your favorite Christmas carols at various garden locations. Crafty Wednesdays feature a craft just for kids. On Musical Thursdays you’ll find live acoustic music and festive entertainment from 6 to 8 p.m. in the Lora Robins Library. Dogs can enjoy the holiday lights at GardenFest for Fidos.
