We're excited to launch Wausau's first-ever walking light show! This immersive experience for all ages will delight with a botanical-inspired sea of special visual effects. Stroll through the myriad of dramatic, artistic lights and light sculptures gracing the various spaces around 10 acres of the Gardens.

Blossom of Lights will take you through the Gardens and end at the kitchen garden and potager, where you can enjoy Scarecrows on Parade and purchase shirts, dinner from a local food truck or vendor, and beer & refreshments!
