Winner of Maryland Life Magazine's Finest Holiday Tradition Award, Garden In Lights is a magical tour that takes visitors on a beautiful trip through the glittering woods.  As you stroll the protected path, you will be transported to a fantastical place of spectacular lights and amazing "light sculpture."  Guests will be surrounded by mythical beasts, wild animals, airplanes, pirates, princesses, circus performers, dinosaurs, and more.  Because all the "light sculptures" are made at Annmarie, the designs are one-of-a-kind; nothing in this show is commerically available.  It is all made just for visitors to Annmarie!  Enjoy the "Holiday I Spy Game," nightly entertainment, special discount nights, sweet treats, and other fun activities. 
 
For 2011, guests will enjoy glittering vignettes of Aviation Celebration, Big Top Bonanza, Happily Ever After, Prehistoric Planet, Ocean Odyssey, and It's Showtime - to name but a few.  Because all the “light sculptures” are handmade, the designs are unique to Annmarie.  
 
Start your tour in the Arts Building where you will also find the Ornament Show & Sale, nightly entertainment, exhibits, and the Dream Weaver's Holiday Cafe.  And don't forget to ask for a "Holiday I Spy" program.  This year, the "Holiday I Spy" game will feature a green shamrock hidden in each vignette.  Try to find all seven shamrocks!  Scroll down to see the complete schedule of nightly entertainment and activities.
