The Magic of the Holiday Train Show and GLOW Come Together this Holiday Season!

Start a new holiday tradition and get outside this season with NYBG GLOW!

On select nights, visitors of all ages can enjoy both the Holiday Train Show® and NYBG GLOW, the Garden’s outdoor holiday light experience now back for its fourth year. During New York’s biggest holiday celebration, the Garden’s iconic sights and buildings, including the Haupt Conservatory and the LuEsther T. Mertz Library Building, become dramatic, glittering canvases. Thousands of dazzling, energy-efficient choreographed lights and sound and picture-perfect installations create a spectacle not to be missed.

Grab drinks and light bites available for purchase at one of NYBG’s outdoor bars or the Bronx Night Market Holiday Pop-Up, and make the most of these nights out in New York City’s most beautiful holiday landscape.
