Thousands of twinkles of light mingle together to create a dramatic, holiday atmosphere in Downtown Oklahoma City’s Myriad Botanical Gardens during OG&E Garden Lights. The 17-acre urban garden and architecturally acclaimed Crystal Bridge Tropical Conservatory will be aglow from November 27 through January 3.

As a gift to visitors, The Crystal Bridge will open free from 6 – 9 p.m. Sunday, November 27 and every Sunday in December for special twilight viewings, courtesy of OG&E.

The OG&E Garden Lights at the Myriad Botanical Gardens goes green again this year by saving energy and money with LED holiday lighting. LED holiday lights use 10 times less energy than incandescent mini lights and 100 times less energy than standard bulbs. Other benefits to using LED holiday lights are they last significantly longer and are safer because they stay cool to the touch and don't overload typical outlets.

Inside the Crystal Bridge, guests will enjoy a display of holiday decorations and vast array of plants from around the world. Outdoors, the wooded landscape will be trimmed with thousands of richly colored lights, creating a magical, sparkling garden – perfect for romantic strolls and memorable family walks with the dramatic backdrop of Downtown skyscrapers. Don't miss the awe-inspiring view of the illuminated gardens and Downtown skyline from the plaza above the Gardens' Water Stage. It makes a great background for holiday family photos.

Myriad Botanical Gardens is located at Reno and Robinson in the heart of downtown Oklahoma City. For information, call (405) 297-3995 or log on to www.myriadgardens.com.
