Enchanted Airlie
1/1/2008

Enchanted Airlie offers visitors an opportunity to celebrate the Holiday season underneath the stars. Enchanted Airlie features 30-acres of the Gardens, tastefully decorated with holiday lights for the enjoyment of all ages. Each evening features live entertainment, refreshments, and holiday gifts for purchase from area vendors under our large decorated tent. Santa will also be present to the delight of many.
Visitors may meander at their own pace through the Garden on self-guided tours enjoying the lights, music, and warm drinks. The Garden will also be alive with countless egrets that congregate on tree branches over Airlie Lake during the winter. The holiday light show starts the Friday after Thanksgiving and runs up to the last Saturday before Christmas.
