Yes DSBG closes at 5:00pm. McAdenville runs their lights from 5:30 -9:30 M-F (11:00 on weekends).

i was under the impression that DSBG did a lighted christmas display that ran at night.

Is that not true?

That is why i was wondering if we could do both events

The family tradition continues with Holiday Lights at the Garden – a holiday event like no other. Join us at the Garden for old favorites like the orchid tree, carriage rides, visits from Santa and seasonal entertainment. A new a treat for 2008 – train displays that are sure to please children of all ages. Nearly 500,000 lights are on display from the Garden’s Grand Entrance to the ponds to the spectacular formal displays in the gardens. The lights will create a memorable experience that will last a lifetime. Guests are invited to walk the garden paths from the icy White Garden to the magical Children’s Wonderland. Be sure to pass through the 30-foot-tall tree of lights on the Four Seasons lawn and continue on through the Canal Garden and the displays beyond. On your return from seeing the lights you can relax in the Visitor Pavilion, enjoy a cup of cocoa and await the nightly arrival of Santa!

More details to follow as the date approaches.

You may be cutting it close. Your biggest concern would be traffic before and after each event. Are you really patient?

[mbeckoff]

SO really I would be better off going two separate nights?

If you want to see both for their Christmas lights, then yes you may want to make it into 2 seperate events. DSBG you can spend many hours there admiring the garden, and then lights.

McAdenville, as mentioned previously, is nice to park your car and walk. The main street area has many stores fronts to look at, and then my favorite is the lake area. All of the homes on Weslyn that are located in McAdenville village must decorate their homes according to the HOA covenents. So, grab a cup of hot Cocoa, and enjoy a walk looking at all the beautiful homes, lake, and stores.

Happy Early Holidays!!!
