Giveaway Day 3: Galaxy of Lights
On the third day of giveaways Rocket City Mom gave to you – LIGHTS. Galaxy of Lights at Huntsville Botanical Garden is a true Huntsville Holiday tradition and if you are anywhere close to North Alabama during the season and you miss it, you WILL regret it. What started 18 years ago as 25 scenes has now expanded to 170 scenes over half of which are animated! The light show and its operation (construction, admissions, traffic, etc.) is run in its entirety by volunteers making this special event all the more special.
What better way to get in the holiday spirit than by taking a drive, walk, or jog through magical seasonal light displays? Maybe taking that drive, walk, or jog for FREE! Get details on how below and be sure to tell your friends. Sharing is caring.
