The sixth season of Winterlights is on at Newfields now through Sunday, Jan. 8, with more than a million and a half lights illuminating the museum, Lily House, and surrounding gardens for the duration of the holiday season. Get your tickets.

Many exhibits are new this year, including “Big Piñata” + “Astraeus.” Glowing Garden, a dazzling light display arranged as multicolored flowers and greenery, is a fresh feature as well.

Bonus: Drinks and treats from Ash and Elm Cider Co., Sun King Brewery, Just Pop In!, and Circle City Sweets will be available for purchase alongside other holiday-themed goods in the Winter Market. Check out what will be available in this year’s holiday gift catalog.
