For nearly a century, Rock City has invited travelers to take the scenic route. This summer, that iconic detour becomes a season long celebration of creativity, connection, and curiosity – marking America’s 250th anniversary with unforgettable views and distinctly American experiences.
The gardens take on the enchantment of autumn with all-new, large scale lighted jack-o’-lantern displays setting the stage for a spooky season. Shadows dance across the stones as the gardens slip into a playful halloween glow – spooky, but never scary.
Warm your heart during this nighttime, family tradition as you walk through Rock City Gardens’ winter wonderland. Located a quick drive from downtown Chattanooga, this magical Christmas lights experience is one of Chattanooga’s memorable winter events.
