2024 Grand Holiday Illumination: December 7 through January 1
Inaugurated in 2015, the Untermyer Gardens Conservancy's Grand Holiday Illumination has quickly become a Yonkers tradition, and thousands of visitors come to enjoy the spectacle. Come for FREE and see the Walled Garden lit with more than 100,000 lights and listen to holiday music from many traditions.
The 2024 Grand Holiday Illumination opens on Saturday, December 7 at 5:30 p.m. and is then open every night through Monday, January 1, from 4:30 until 8:00 p.m., free to the public with NO RESERVATIONS required. Illumination is OPEN on Christmas Day and New Year's Day.
Each evening, a community group volunteers to host the Welcome Table. Volunteers from the group greet visitors, encourage them to sign up for our email newsletter and perhaps make a donation, and offer them complimentary hot chocolate. A sign at the Welcome Table will identify your group.
