Millions of lights are on display at Rock City's Enchanted Garden of Lights turning the beloved attraction into a winter wonderland or stroll through the Chattanooga Zoo's Asian Lantern Festival with nearly 50 separate displays that move, change colors, play music, and blow bubbles! Don't feel like walking? Hop on the Tennessee Railroad Museum's Holiday Christmas Lights Train for a relaxing ride filled with holiday magic or take a seat on the Chattanooga Green to enjoy the Lighted Boat Parade for Reindeer on the Riverfront.
