For art enthusiasts, the Georgetown Glow in DC’s oldest neighbourhood invites visitors to re-imagine the season of light through outdoor public art. Running nightly from 6 Dec to 5 Jan, Glow is free to the public, or visitors can book a walking tour package, where guides are on location to share stories about the historic streets and canal, industry and local residents from the past, and present.
Washington, DC’s famed Smithsonian museums are also a part of the light up holiday mix, with The National Zoo hosting ZooLights nightly from 29 Nov to 1 Jan. ZooLights is a free event showcasing more than 500,000 environmentally friendly LED lights transforming the Zoo into a winter wonderland, complete with two dazzling laser light shows set to music.
New this year is Entre Les Rangs, a luminous field of lights. This award winning exhibit features a field of lights appearing as wheat swaying in the breeze. Visitors can take a stroll through the field as the reflecting lights shimmer and sway.
