As winter’s chill settles in, there’s no better way to spark the holiday spirit than with the Winter Lights experience at the Shelburne Museum. Imagine strolling through a wonderland of artfully illuminated buildings and gardens, where every corner glows with whimsy and magic. From the iconic steamboat Ticonderoga floating in a sea of dazzling lights to the ethereal twinkle of the Beach Woods’ firefly-inspired cascade, Winter Lights transforms the museum grounds into a luminous Christmas Lights festival.
This year’s display promises even more magic, including an enhanced circus-themed exhibit under a glowing Big Top and newly illuminated landmarks like the Sawmill and Covered Bridge. For an added touch of wonder, sea creatures modeled after the museum’s historic weathervanes will float gracefully in a sea of light near the Ticonderoga.
With both walk-through and drive-around options, there’s an experience tailored for everyone. For those who prefer a quieter visit, Sensory Friendly Winter Lights nights offer a gentler atmosphere. And for adults looking to add a festive toast to their night, the Ice Bar event on December 6th features specialty cocktails, live music, and an exclusive winter vibe while enjoying the Christmas Lights festival.
