Eden Gardens Christmas Candlelight Open House & Luminaries Dec 13

The Friends of Eden Gardens State Park invite the public to the Christmas Candlelight Open House throughout the park grounds on Saturday, December 13th from 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM.

Note: Event has been moved from 12/6/25 to 12/13/25 due to weather.

Everyone's invited! Admission fees to the park are waived for the event. Donations to the Friends of Eden are welcome.

Over 2000 luminaries will be lit and placed along the garden paths of the park and the House will be open and the decorated trees lit for the event, giving the public the opportunity to experience the magic of Eden Gardens at nightfall. The Friends of Eden will provide live music, cookies and hot beverages.

Additional parking will be available a short walk from Bay Elementary School, and the back gate on Gilmore will be open for those who would rather walk than wait for the tram.
