After-dark light trail through the San Antonio Botanical Garden, Nov 20, 2026 – Jan 10, 2027. Timed tickets $29.99 adults, $26.99 children, $24.99 members.

Illuminate turns the San Antonio Botanical Garden on Funston Place into a walking trail of light displays after dark. 2026 is its third season; it replaced the garden's older Lightscape show. It runs from November 20, 2026, to January 10, 2027, which makes it one of the last shows in town to close.

Tickets are timed, so you pick a date and an entry slot when you buy. Non-member adults pay $29.99 and children $26.99, each plus a $3 fee, and members pay $24.99. A $39.99 Flex Pass lets you come on any night. A few walk-up tickets may be sold at the kiosk if a slot isn't full. Parking is not included in the ticket.

The garden does not refund or exchange Illuminate tickets once bought, so check the weather and your plans before you pick a night. Two special nights are worth knowing about: a sensory-friendly night on December 1 and a family night on December 11.
