Join us for tree lighting ceremony to kick off the 46th annual Holiday Nights celebration! Guests can participate in the countdown with Dave Elias from NBC-2 when the historic Mysore Fig on the Ford property will be lit with thousands of animated lights choreographed to holiday music. Female vocalists, The American Sirens, will perform shortly after the tree lighting. The event is sponsored by Bob Dean Supply, Florida Power & Light, Sunbelt Rentals, and TriCircle Pavers.

This year’s theme is “Holidays Under the Stars” and will incorporate elements of nature and the outdoors. Holiday Nights will be open Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve, but closed Christmas Day. Through January 2, guided Holiday Tradition Tours will be offered at 6 and 7 p.m. every night or visitors can meander at their own pace on a self-guided tour. The Ford Cottage Shoppe, Museum Store and Garden Shoppe will be open until 9 p.m. every night and will be stocked with unique gift items for that hard-to-buy-for loved one.

Holiday Nights tickets for adults are $20, teens (13-19) $10, children (6-12) are $2 and Edison Ford members get in free. Guided Holiday Tradition Tours are $30 for adults, teens are $25, children $18 and $10 for Edison Ford members
