Can you believe it’s already time to get Winter Lights tickets?

Tickets go on sale today at 10 a.m. for Asheville’s favorite winter tradition.

This year’s event features favorites like the 50-foot lighted tree and the Quilt Garden. You’ll also meet a few new friends: six of Thomas Dambo’s trolls can be viewed at the light display.

Plus, get to Winter Lights via Holly Jolly Trolley this year, in partnership with Biltmore Park Town Square and Grey Line Trolley Tours.

Winter Lights dazzles the Arboretum from Nov. 15 through Jan. 4.
