winter lights
Naumkiag, Stockbridge
Celebrate this year with The Trustees of Reservations’ award-winning, immersive holiday light display.
Berkshire County residents and visitors can explore the gardens and grounds of Naumkeag illuminated by hundreds of thousands of lights.
The 48-acre property houses visitor favorite installations such as Rainbow Road, Laser Light Forest, and Blue Steps, as well as new elements that will surprise those who have made this piece part of their holiday tradition.
As part of a garden restoration project, the site debuted a new path through an orchard designed to improve the terrain.
The road has improved the terrain, but this installation is not for those who are worried about mobility.
There is no on-site parking at WinterLights this year, but parking is available on either side of City Hall at 50 Main St. and a short shuttle takes you to the facility.
The display will run Wednesday through Sunday from 4:30 to 8:30 pm through January 7th.
