Lightscape at the Los Angeles County Arboretum joins the likes of the Los Angeles Zoo and the Descano Gardens in providing a festive evening light experience to Southern California during the holiday season. Curated by UK based Culture Creative, this international extravaganza has already appeared throughout the world and finally made its West Coast debut in November. Spanning just over a mile, the exhibit loops through the lush confines of the arboretum and features various photo-worthy illuminations and accompanying holiday music. Concession stands offering holiday-inspired cocktails and marshmallow roasting pits are scattered along the way for your convenience. It’s definitely a great way to get you in the holiday spirit!
