Illumination: Tree Lights At The Morton Arboretum
Illumination will engage your senses with dazzling projections, trees that respond to your touch and sound, and vivid, electric colors throughout.
Plan Your Experience:
Illumination is an outdoor event on a one-mile, gently rolling, paved path that takes approximately one and one-half hours to complete. Please dress for the weather. Food and beverage concessions are available for purchase.
Walking along the paved trail you can:
- Hug a tree to make it grow brighter
- Sing to a tree and watch it change color
- Interact with light and color with a swipe of your hand
- And many more surprising experiences around every turn!
Also be sure to:
- Warm up next to fire pits while enjoying hot cocoa, s’mores, and other delights
- Visit the Enchanted Railroad and stop in to browse the holiday wares at The Arboretum Store
- Enjoy energy-efficient, environmentally-friendly LED lighting that provides beautiful, powerful color while consuming only half the power of traditional incandescent lights
