Newfields strings roughly two million lights across its gardens and historic Lilly House grounds each winter, a tradition running since 2018. Visitors walk a lit trail through the estate's formal gardens, with seasonal food and drink stops along the way. The display typically runs from late November into early January, though the 2026-27 exact dates were not yet posted at verification.
