Thousands of lights, hundreds of historic decorations and one unique holiday experience await you nightly! The event is sponsored by Florida Power and Light, Bob Dean Supply, Sunbelt Rentals and TriCircle Pavers. This year's theme is "Holidays on Wheels" and will incorporate many different types of wheels, especially car wheels because of the connection to Henry Ford, and also wagon wheels, bicycle tires, ships steering wheels, and train wheelsets. Holiday Nights will run nightly through December 31 (will be closed Christmas Eve and Christmas night). Guided Holiday Tradition Tours will be offered at 6 and 7 p.m. every night except opening night or visitors can choose to meander at their own pace on a self-guided tour.

On Sunday evenings from 6-8 p.m., Santa and Mrs. Claus will be visiting, and on December 3 and 10, children can get their face painted (additional charge for face painting). Then, on December 16 and 23, there will be a teddy bear booth, where children can make a bear (additional charge).

There will be music on several nights, including strolling carolers, a pianist, and tenor saxophone and trumpet players. In addition, the Fort Myers Symphonic Mastersingers will perform on December 13. An antique circus car (a Calliope) with a built-in pipe organ will be played at 6 p.m. on December 12. Curators will be on hand to answer questions about the car, which is a modified 1914 Model T Ford.

Guests can shop for gift items during Market Mondays, when multiple craft and holiday vendors will have booths around the Banyan tree from 4-9 p.m. on December 4, 11, and 18.
