Brooklyn Botanic Garden’s Lightscape opens
PROSPECT HEIGHTS — Brooklyn Botanic Garden officially opened Lightscape, a mile-long illuminated trail, on Friday.
Returning for its third year in Brooklyn and featuring 1 million-plus lights in immersive installations across the Garden, Lightscape has fast become a contemporary classic for the holidays.
NYC dignitaries and special guests marked the opening of Lightscape with a special “Lights On” moment on BBG’s famed Cherry Esplanade. Brooklyn residents and visitors alike gathered as BBG president and CEO Adrian Benepe flipped the switch on the spectacular light exhibition, turning tens of thousands of moving lights on across Cherry Esplanade.
