Enchanted Garden of Lights at Rock City 2026

Rock City's award-winning holiday tradition returns to Lookout Mountain with millions of lights transforming the gardens into a nighttime winter wonderland. Visitors wind through five themed trails, including the Grand Corridor, the Bridges, Hall of the Mountain King, Fairyland Caverns, and Carter Cliffs, with Santa making nightly appearances through December 23. Now in its 31st year, the event is one of the region's most popular holiday outings and a portion of proceeds benefits the Ronald McDonald House.
