“Illumination” at The Morton Arboretum
Nov 2024
Join MAPS for an opportunity to photograph the Arboretum’s annual Illumination holiday lights exhibition. The theme Illumination: Tree Lights at The Morton Arboretum returns for the Arboretum’s 11th annual edition. Journey along the one-mile long paved walkway amid festive music and the lighting of the Arboretum’s majestic trees during this one-of-a-kind spectacle of color, light and sound. This year features dazzling new displays as well as returning favorites. You will also experience an exciting Illumination display in The Gerald T. Donnelly Grand Garden, leading to a spectacular holiday-light finale.
