In accordance with Governor Roy Cooper’s modified “Stay at Home” order, Executive Order 181, the North Carolina Arboretum has adjusted the hours to Asheville’s brightest holiday tradition, Winter Lights.
“The health and safety of the Arboretum’s staff, Arboretum Society members, and visitors remain of the utmost importance,” says Executive Director George Briggs, “Thanks so much to everyone for their support as we continue to navigate the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic.”
The new Winter Lights hours are 5:30 pm to 10:00 pm (incoming gate closes at 9:30 pm).
Pre-sale admission is $25 per personal vehicle and $30 at the gate the night of the event. Guests are strongly encouraged to purchase their tickets ahead of time online at ncwinterlights.com to save on ticket fees and reserve their space. (Commercial vans and other vehicles accommodating more than 15 guests will be charged a premium; please see website for details.) Arboretum Society members will receive $3 off their pre-sale tickets, and the Arboretum will be offering discounted pricing every Tuesday (excluding December 22).
