ORLANDO, Fla., Nov. 25, 2025 — Orlando’s 50-acre Harry P. Leu Gardens will transform more than ever into a stunning, winter wonderland featuring a million dazzling lights, shining forests, magical displays, music and beautiful sculptures during “Dazzling Nights” - a family-friendly adventure that gives guests the opportunity to embark on an unforgettable, mile-long, interactive holiday experience. Dazzling Nights continues to grow, and 2025 brings the largest Dazzling Nights to date to Harry P. Leu Gardens in Orlando from November 28, 2025 - January 4, 2026.
Created by the trusted team behind the IMMERSE Festival and many more epic, immersive events and presented by AdventHealth, Dazzling Nights is an awe-inspiring, annual holiday event.
Guests will love highlights this year:
- Stand beneath a 50-foot star in the Rose Garden and lose yourselves in live holiday music all night
- Shop, sip and eat in the brand-new Holiday Village
- Enjoy the elegance of dozens of giant crystal chandeliers hanging from the treetops
- Have a snowball fight with some elves in the interactive, 8-bit Christmas zone
- Spin through drifting snow and play among towering Yetis in the Crystal Kingdom
- Journey through a forest of choreographed candy canes and lollipops at Candy Cane Crossing
- Stand in awe of the beauty of “The Cathedral” - an 80 ft. long, immersive homage to ancient stained glass
- Step into a magical meadow alive with illuminated butterflies and flickering fireflies
- and so much more! -more-
Continuing the collaboration with Leu Gardens, the Horticulture Team is building a giant owl this year - the centerpiece of The Woodlands. Made of reclaimed natural elements, the owl stands amidst thousands of beautiful warm lights hanging from the trees above.
Guests can also begin their Dazzling Nights experience before they even reach the garden hopping aboard the Sparkling Express - convenient transportation direct to and from the garden from offsite parking. Each shuttle features a light show choreographed to music, bringing even more magic to the Dazzling Nights experience this year.
Plus, sweet treats, holiday (and adult) beverages continue every night. Guests can also enjoy live entertainment nightly, made possible through the support of Massey Services.
"I am so excited for our guests to experience Dazzling Nights 2025!” says Cole NeSmith, Artistic Director and Founder of Creative City Project. “Our team has been working for more than a year on this totally new and expanded holiday experience. One of my greatest joys is seeing friends and families come together at our events, and I know this year’s show brings even more awe, joy and excitement for us all. From our largest immersive worlds to date, to world-class live entertainment, our community's annual holiday tradition continues to grow."
“From its inception, we’ve been honored to be part of Dazzling Nights, which celebrates the holidays by bringing people of all ages together to experience the beauty of nature, art and light,” says Sharon Line Clary, Senior Vice president of Community Impact and Partnership Engagement at AdventHealth. “We love how this spectacular, immersive event creates moments of joy and connection that nurture mental, physical and spiritual well-being — and through partnerships like this, we’re helping our community feel whole.”
“We’re delighted to welcome the return of holiday magic to the Gardens this winter with Dazzling Nights,” says Jennifer D’hollander, Executive Director of Harry P. Leu Gardens. “This enchanting experience offers residents, visitors and families a chance to celebrate the season together. From strolling through the glowing gardens to enjoying festive activities, there’s something for everyone to create lasting holiday memories.”
