HUNTSVILLE – Vote now. Vote often.
That’s not the mantra for regular political elections, but it is for the Huntsville Botanical Garden.
After taking the No. 2 spot in 2023 and 2024, Huntsville Botanical Garden is hoping the third time is a charm to win USA Today‘s 10Best Botanical Holiday Light Show title.
Voting for the Best Botanical Light Show Award will end at 10:59 a.m. Central Time, Dec. 1. To vote for Galaxy of Lights, visit https://10best.usatoday.com/
“We are thrilled that visitors, members, volunteers and supporters from our community voted for Galaxy of Lights in such numbers last year that we landed at No. 2 in a list with extremely strong competitors.,” said Botanical Garden CEO Sue Wagner. “We are truly grateful for their support, and we hope to get to No. 1 this year.”
According to a news release, the Galaxy of Lights, which is celebrating its 30th anniversary, was nominated with 19 other light shows at gardens and arboreta by a panel of experts, including a combination of editors from USA Today, editors from 10Best.com and contributors.
“The Garden has been making the holidays sparkle for 30 years with this one-of-a-kind tradition,” said Wagner. “With fresh features to experience this year such as strolling through the newly re-imagined Icicle Forest, riding the Evergreen Express, enjoying s’mores at The Gathering or a cup of hot cocoa from the Cocoa Castle, and walking through the beautifully lit Purdy Butterfly House, we know this year is going to be the best Galaxy of Lights yet.”
