ORLANDO, Fla. - Orlando’s beloved holiday tradition, Dazzling Nights, is back for its fifth year, promising a spectacular celebration bigger and brighter than ever. From November 29, 2024, through January 5, 2025, Harry P. Leu Gardens will transform into a 50-acre winter wonderland featuring a dazzling display of over one million lights, interactive experiences, and enchanting holiday magic.

Presented by AdventHealth and brought to life by Creative City Project and Memoir Agency, Dazzling Nights invites guests of all ages to embark on a three-quarter-mile immersive journey. This year, visitors can expect the longest and most illuminated path yet, complete with shining forests, magical displays, music, and breathtaking sculptures.
“It’s amazing to think that Dazzling Nights has been a holiday celebration for our community for five years!” said Cole NeSmith, artistic director and founder of Creative City Project. “Our goal has always been to create experiences that bring people together, and I’m so grateful that this event has become an annual tradition for so many. We’re thrilled to celebrate year five with the largest Dazzling Nights to date.”
AdventHealth continues to support the annual tradition as part of its commitment to fostering community connection and well-being.

“Since its inception five years ago, AdventHealth has proudly supported Dazzling Nights, inspired by our commitment to the power of arts and entertainment to nurture healing and wellness,” says Sharon Line Clary, senior vice president of community impact and partnership engagement at AdventHealth. “We love the opportunity to bring our community together in ways that enrich mental, physical and spiritual well-being. Through partnerships like this, we’re finding new, creative ways to support our community’s journey to wholeness.”
