Since 1995, Bright Nights has been a unique public/private collaboration between the City of Springfield’s Department of Parks, Buildings & Recreation Management and the Spirit of Springfield, a private non-profit organization. Together they have welcomed more than 3.8 million visitors. It has been calculated that if every bus that had visited were lined bumper to bumper, they would go from Springfield to Cape Cod. The cars would go as far as California.

Join us during the day for the cost of regular general admission paid at our entry gate to explore the gardens, trails, conservatories, and uniquely decorated trees and nature-inspired ornaments. Daytime admission is free for members.
