Enchanted Forest of Light is an interactive, nighttime experience unlike anything else in Los Angeles featuring a 1-mile walk through unique lighting experiences in some of the most beloved areas of Descanso Gardens.

Visitors will journey through an illuminated landscape, including a unique display in the Rose Garden, where HYBYCOZO’s 3-D geometric sculptures transform the Rose Garden labyrinth into an extraordinary experience of light and form.

Adding to the charm, a glowing meadow grass installation gently ripples among the oaks, inviting awe and wonder. With wonderful surprises at every turn, the Descanso Railroad brings extra magic to the journey with its miniature model trains and landscapes lit up for the holiday season.

Tom Fruin’s vibrant “stained glass” houses will return to create a radiant village on the Main Lawn. Enhanced with interactive lighting, they form a lively, whimsical scene that invites visitors to engage with the light and color.
