Luminations, our naturally magical winter event, is back! We’re lighting up the gardens with thousands of luminarias and bringing plentiful aerial dance performances, live music, and festive fun to make this a tradition to remember.

We’re bringing back unique performances from Austin aerial dance group, Blue Lapis Light. This enchanting site work, “Oneness of Being,” has been choreographed specifically for the Wildflower Center. Come experience illuminated dancers diving and dangling above the naturally beautiful setting of the Savanna Meadow each night.

Gather your family and invite your friends to start a new tradition or continue a beloved one at the Wildflower Center.
