See Gardens Aglow at Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens
From mid-November through New Year’s Eve, Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens in Boothbay comes to life with the help of more than half a million energy efficient LED lights. Gardens Aglow is a truly magical, sensory experience. You’ll stroll all over the gardens and buildings and you won’t believe your eyes. This display would impress even Clark W. Griswold, it’s really that stunning. Take note, Gardens Aglow is wildly popular so be sure to purchase tickets in advance.
