2023 Grand Holiday Illumination

Untermyer Gardens' annual Grand Holiday Illumination is a magical event: the gardens are lit with 100,000 lights while recorded Christian, Hindu, Jewish, and Zoroastrian (ancient Persian) music plays. Visitors meanders through the garden and experience the wonder and joy of the season.

Welcome Table Volunteers are needed to greet visitors as they enter the garden, encourage them to sign up for the email newsletter (and perhaps make a donation), and give out free hot chocolate provided by the Untermyer Gardens Conservancy. There is a heated tent at the hot cocoa station, but all volunteers should dress warmly since this event is outdoors!

Volunteers must be 18+ to sign up by themselves, but volunteers as young as 12 can register alongside an adult if the adult selects "Sign Up With a Family, Group, or Team." Sign up for one or more shifts below!
