Illumination: Tree Lights at The Morton Arboretum has been nationally recognized as one of the top 10 ‘Best Botanical Garden Holiday Lights’ by USA TODAY. The distinction is part of USA TODAY’s 10Best Readers’ Choice Awards for 2024. Currently in its 12th year, Illumination is the only holiday light show in Illinois to receive the Top 10 designation. This is the third time Illumination has landed a spot on the USA TODAY’s 10Best list.  The Arboretum was nominated by a panel of experts, including USA TODAY 10Best editors. Readers then voted for their favorites. Illumination also recently appeared on the U.S. News and World Report’s list of “28 Best Christmas Light Displays + Tours for 2024.” This season features a vibrant, new display of interactive tree shapes synchronized to different musical instruments in the Arboretum’s Grand Garden, along an ADA-compliant, one-mile walking trail with 17 immersive light displays. Illumination: Tree Lights at the Morton Arboretum runs through Jan. 4, 2025. For tickets or more information, visit mortonarb.org. Illumination is generously sponsored by Invesco QQQ and ComEd.
