Join us as we kick off the 47^th annual Holiday Nights celebration with a tree lighting ceremony! Guests can participate in the countdown with Dave Elias from NBC-2 news when a tree on the Ford property will be lit with thousands of lights. Female vocalists, The American Sirens, will perform shortly after the tree lighting. This year’s theme is “Holidays along the River” and will feature elements of tropical wildlife and nature and Southwest Florida. This event will run through the months of December, and guided tours will be offered at 6 and 7 p.m. every night or visitors can meander at their own pace on a self-guided tour.

Holiday Nights tickets for adults are $20, teens (13-19) $10, children (6-12) are $2 and Edison Ford members get in free. Guided Holiday Tradition Tours are $30 for adults, teens are $25, children $18 and $10 for Edison Ford members. Lee County residents with identification will receive $5 off Holiday Nights admission on Sunday nights. To purchase tickets or view the nightly schedule, visit edisonford.org.
