Rock City’s beloved holiday tradition, the Enchanted Garden of Lights, returns for its 31st year on Friday, Nov. 14, inviting guests to explore a world of festive cheer and holiday creativity among millions of twinkling lights.
This year, the experience introduces Fable, a storytelling gnome who encourages guests to create memories and reflect on holiday traditions with family and friends.
What’s new this year:
Experience snowfall on Legacy Lane: Stroll through gently falling snow along the Enchanted Garden of Lights’ core pathway and encounter singing reindeer on the way to see Santa.
Explore expanded access at Carter Cliffs: Visit additional rooms inside and outside the historic home of Rock City’s founders, including the newly opened patio for breathtaking views and a perfect spot to enjoy hot chocolate.
Savor a new holiday menu: find seasonal food and festive beverages at venues throughout the garden, including the return of kettle corn.
The Enchanted Garden of Lights runs nightly starting at 4 p.m. from Nov. 14 through Jan. 4.
Visitors can save money by purchasing tickets early. Single and family passes for 2026 are also available.
They include entry to the Enchanted Garden of Lights for the remainder of 2025 and all of 2026, plus admission to Rock City’s new fall experience, the Enchanted Pumpkin Patch, next year.
Tickets are available online only at seerockcity.com. A portion of every ticket sold benefits Ronald McDonald House Charities of Greater Chattanooga.
