When it comes to this time of year, a big sign that the holiday season is upon us is the lights that adorn many of our favorite local spots. The Botanical Gardens are one location. Recently, someone recommended I take a look at the lights in Wolfin Square.

They were right. The lights are beautiful in Wolflin Square this time of year.

When the holiday season starts, Wolflin Square always seems to be a spot that attracts all kinds of Christmas festivities.

One of the best parts is the lights. There are lights everywhere in Wolflin Square, and they're awfully pretty.

One Of The First Of The Season

A friend of mine sent a video to me one evening of them driving around looking at lights. It was pretty early in the holiday season, and I asked where they were.

The answer? Wolflin Square. They told me that they have an annual tradition where they go out to Wolflin Square early in the winter months to see the lights, because they're usually one of the first.
