A Magical Holiday Experience

Celebrate the season at the Garden at Elm Bank

Dozens of Trees

Dozens of holiday trees, decorated in fun themes and donated by local organizations and families! Enter the raffle for the chance to win a tree at the end of the festival.

Snow Village Trains

Model trains wend their way through villages and vignettes, including Christmas in Boston, Fenway Park, a Dickensian village, the North Pole, and hundreds of decorated houses and lights. With too many Santas to count and skaters galore, Snow Village is a visual treat for young and old alike.

Garden Lightscapes

Holiday lights and decorations fill the Garden. See the Garden at Elm Bank in a new light with holiday lightscapes, magical displays, and the perfect photo opportunities. You'll get a hot cocoa at the gate and finish your visit with s'mores by the firepits.

Donate a Tree

Donated trees feature an entertaining, lighthearted, seasonal, or horticulturally significant theme. Our youngest attendees gravitate toward trees echoing well-known fictional and/or whimsical characters, animals, and sports. Guests of all ages are always excited by trees featuring a selection of gifts either on or under the tree!

See full details on tree donation on the online registration form below.
