Yuletide 2026: Friday, December 18, 6:30p ticket – Victorian Ghostly Characters Weekend

Bring your family to Yew Dell Botanical Gardens for an evening of holiday cheer during Yuletide 2026's Victorian Ghostly Characters weekend. The gardens transform into a festive wonderland featuring a model train village, twinkling light displays, and Community Partner trees. Kids can enjoy craft activities and warm up with free hot chocolate, while Santa makes an appearance. For those with bigger appetites, Martha Lee's Café offers s'mores kits and other treats for purchase. This themed weekend encourages families to dress up in Victorian ghostly costumes, adding an extra layer of fun to your visit. Tickets are tiered by age group, with discounted rates for garden members and free admission for children under 2. Keep in mind that all ticket purchases are final and non-refundable, though you can pass your ticket along to someone else if needed. The event runs rain or shine, so dress accordingly for a magical holiday experience.
