Holiday Lights In Memphis

The Memphis Zoo and the Memphis Botanic Garden both have holiday light shows through Christmas. Both events are a great place to create holiday rituals and memories with your family.

Both events are outside and allow for social distancing; masks are required.

In the event that you are can’t get out this year due to the pandemic, I am bringing some highlights to you right here! Share it with a child or elderly person in your life.

Enjoy and have a happy holiday!
