Winterlights returns to Canton’s Bradley Estate
By Canton Citizen
The sparkling displays of Winterlights, a signature event from the Trustees of Reservations, returns to the Eleanor Cabot Bradley Estate in Canton starting on Friday, November 28. Tickets are on sale now at thetrustees.org/winterlights.
For the last seven years, Winterlights has garnered a reputation as a wonder-filled family-friendly event featuring hundreds of thousands of environmentally friendly LED holiday lights decorating the grounds of the Bradley Estate as well as a second Trustees property, Naumkeag in Stockbridge.
The immersive light display also features festive music and seasonal treats, with new elements added each year. In 2020, Winterlights was named a Top 10 Public Holiday Light Display by USA Today’s 10Best Readers’ Choice Awards.
The display opens at both locations the day after Thanksgiving and runs Wednesdays through Sundays until January 3, except for December 24 and 25. Additional days will be offered on Monday and Tuesday, December 22-23 and 29-30. The show will also be open on New Year’s Day, January 1.
Timed entry tickets are required and must be purchased in advance. On Wednesdays and Thursdays, tickets are discounted for Trustees members and the public, and members pay a discounted price for weekend tickets as well. Children under age 2 are admitted for free, and new this year, children ages 3-13 will be admitted for free during the final week (Dec. 29-Jan. 3).
Additionally, at the Bradley Estate, a limited number of tickets will be available for guests who may benefit from a quieter sensory-sensitive environment on Thursdays, December 4 and 11, and Sunday, December 14, from 3:30 to 4:30 p.m. Free parking is also available on site at the Bradley Estate in Canton.
