GOSHEN – The Orange County Department of Parks, Recreation and Conservation is pleased to announce the 15th annual “Holiday Lights in Bloom” program it’s currently open from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the Arboretum at Thomas Bull Memorial Park.

“The Lights in Bloom exhibit has become a tradition in Orange County and we are excited to have it back this year,” Orange County Executive Steven M. Neuhaus said. “I look forward to family and friends enjoying the display together at the Arboretum during the holiday season.”

It may be chilly out but the Arboretum will be in “full bloom” with beautiful, garden themed light displays in the forms of flowers, animals, and insects. Children, and adults alike, will be charmed as they stroll through the various themed gardens created in lights. “Holiday Lights in Bloom” is a walk-through display that is free. It will be open to the public from 5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays starting November 24th through December 30th. The program will be closed on Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve.

Due to construction on the Ottaway Education Center, the Friends of the Arboretum will hold their Holiday Boutique in the greenhouses in conjunction with the light show from November 24th through December 17th.
