Let There Be Light
November 19 – January 5
Thanksgiving Point’s tradition of glamorous lights glazing the Ashton Gardens continues for its third year. A 120-foot tree acts as the focal point of the mile-long walk through this Lehi winter wonderland. The Gardens become the home of stunning light displays, elaborate gingerbread houses, live reindeer, fire pits and a field of luminaries programmed to music. With a blanket of snow and classy lanterns, the Light the World sculpture garden with scenes from Christ’s life brings the real meaning of Christmas to light.
All is Calm

A live re-creation of Christ’s birth, complete with camels, horses and Roman soldiers come to Alpine each year. Visitors to Alpine/Bethlehem envision what it was like on the night of Christ’s birth.
