Get ready for a little holiday magic under the stars! Palma Sola Botanical Park in Bradenton is lighting up the season with Winter Nights Under the Lights, a festive celebration filled with twinkling displays, cheerful music, and fun for the whole family.

Wander through beautifully illuminated gardens, visit Santa and Mrs. Claus, browse the holiday gift market, and enjoy live music, seasonal treats, food trucks, and hands-on crafts. Guests can also spread a little extra holiday cheer by supporting the Toys for Tots collection.

Join the festivities December 17–20, from 6 PM to 9 PM, at Palma Sola Botanical Park, located at 9800 17th Avenue NW in Bradenton, just a short drive from Anna Maria Island. Admission is free, with donations appreciated to support the nonprofit park.
