Enchanted Garden of Lights at Rock City 2026

The Enchanted Garden of Lights turns Rock City on Lookout Mountain into a nighttime display of holiday lights, now marking its 32nd year. It runs nightly from November 13 through December 31, 2026, starting at 4 p.m., and is closed December 24. Last entry is 45 minutes before closing.

The walk follows five trails: the Grand Corridor (peace doves, the nativity scene and Toyland), the Bridges Trail, the Hall of the Mountain King, Fairyland Caverns with Mother Goose Village, and Carter Cliffs, where Santa visits nightly through December 23 and hot chocolate is served.

Tickets are timed-entry and sold online only, and guests can't enter before their entry time. Rock City notes the trail is not fully stroller or handicap accessible (carriers are recommended, and a limited-access trail is available). See the Rock City event page for tickets.
