Louisiana Lights: Holiday Magic at Burden Gardens

The holiday season shines bright at Burden Museum and Gardens with the return of Louisiana Lights, running November 28 through December 30, Wednesdays to Sundays. This walk-through experience transforms the historic Windrush Gardens into a glowing wonderland, complete with photo hotspots like the famous light tunnel—where engagements happen almost nightly. Families can enjoy s’mores by fire pits, food and drinks from Crown Plaza, and countless Instagram-worthy moments. More than a fundraiser, Louisiana Lights raises awareness of this 440-acre “secret garden” while drawing visitors from across Louisiana and beyond. Tickets are $22 at discoverburden.com/LAlights, with free parking and limited availability.
