Annmarie Lights Up the Holidays

Annmarie Sculpture Garden & Arts Center announced that the award-winning Garden in Lights will commence December 2, 2011 at 6:00pm.

Showcasing several hundred handmade light sculptures throughout the 30-acre park, visitors will be surrounded by a holiday light show that won Maryland Life Magazine’s Best Holiday Tradition award in 2010.  Garden in Lights attendees will be able to see a myriad of light sculptures which include mythical beasts, a circus, dancers, animated characters, the Centennial of Naval Aviation, and much more.

Starting the light show experience in Annmarie’s 15,000 sq. ft. arts building, visitors will begin their adventure with live entertainment, shopping opportunities at the 4th Annual Ornament Show & Sale, and be able to indulge in some light refreshments before heading outside to see the light sculptures.

In addition, Annmarie will also be hosting a Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots drive throughout the Garden in Lights event.  Visitors are asked to bring a new, unwrapped toy to the Annmarie Arts building for local kids in need of some holiday cheer; why not give the gift of joy while enjoying Garden in the Lights this year.

Garden in Lights opens December 2, 2011 from 6:00pm to 9:00pm and continues until January 1, 2012; weather permitting and with limited closures (December 5-7, 12-14, and 24-25).  Admission is only $5 (Children 4 and under and members are free).  Hours of operation for Garden in Lights is 6:00pm to 9:00pm each night; Annmarie will continue its normal hours of operation for its featured Toys and Imagine a… exhibits during the day.  For more information about Garden in Lights or Annmarie Sculpture Garden & Arts Center, go to www.annmariegarden.org or call 410-326-4640.
