Each holiday season, Annmarie Sculpture Garden and Arts Center in Solomons, Maryland hosts its “Garden in Lights”, a walking tour that takes visitors on a spectacular stroll through the glittering woods specially designed for the Christmas season. Visitors are surrounded by handmade one-of-a- kind light sculptures featuring mythical beasts, wild animals, pirates, illuminated works of art, and more. The event includes nightly entertainment, special discount nights, and other fun activities. Located in Southern Maryland, the 30-acre sculpture garden features works on loan from the Smithsonian Institution and the National Gallery of Art.
