Holiday Window Light Displays

Promenade Park, 202 W. Superior St.
Escape the hustle and bustle of the holidays to enjoy Promenade Park’s Park Foundation Pavilion in a new light. Park scenes captured by a local photographer are turned into large paper cut light boxes that will be displayed in the Park Foundation Pavilion windows. The displays will be available to view starting Wednesday, November 25 to Sunday, January 3.
“Oh? Christmas Tree!” Holiday Exhibit
Open Through January 3, Public hours
Botanical Conservatory, 1100 S. Calhoun St.
This holiday season, enter Fort Wayne’s Botanical Conservatory to discover a grand array of Christmas “trees.” From the Polish upside-down tree to the Caribbean charamico, from the log used in the Catalonian tió de nadal to the Italian ceppo shelf, there is a world of holiday tradition associated directly or loosely with the tree. Enjoy this glimpse into some of the more unfamiliar Christmas traditions and symbolism from around the globe and stroll through the Atrium, Garden Gallery, Showcase Garden, and beyond. The Conservatory’s own colorful, 12’ tall poinsettia “tree,” in a sea of color and beauty, is one of this city’s annual “tree” traditions. Join us for this salute to holiday history and celebration. Sponsored by Majic 95.1 WAJI, PBS39 and the Auer Foundation.
