Keep Burden Gardens as a holiday destination next year

Burden Museum & Gardens recently announced Louisiana Lights: Where the Holidays Shine, a new holiday event set to open in 2024 with presenting partner, Visit Baton Rouge.

Louisiana Lights is a unique and enchanting light show that gracefully unfolds within historic Windrush Gardens. It beckons guests to embrace the harmony of nature and artistry of light, transporting them into the serene oasis designed by Steele Burden in the heart of urban life.

The multi-night event will invite residents and visitors to take an hour-long stroll through interconnected garden rooms that are exquisitely lit for the holidays, celebrating a garden where the past and present shine.

Crafted through collaborative efforts and meticulous planning, Louisiana Lights is poised to become a timeless tradition for families, a joyous gathering for our community and a radiant spectacle that will captivate visitors of all ages. It’s an intergenerational celebration, a harmonious blend of nature, history, togetherness and festive spirit.

Visitors will be able to engage with the gardens through this new and immersive experience. Louisiana Lights will also introduce the gardens to new audiences who will appreciate Windrush Gardens and everything Burden Museum & Gardens offers yearround. Moreover, the proceeds from this endeavor will help to preserve and sustain Windrush Gardens and the historic structures within.
