Meadowlark Winter Walk of Lights
When: Through Jan. 3, 5:30 -10 p.m.
Where: Meadowlark Botanical Gardens, 9750 Meadowlark Gardens Ct., Vienna
Meadowlark Botanical Gardens normally attracts 75,000-80,000 visitors this time of year, so competition will be tight for the limited number of timed tickets available in 2020.

Tickets $8-$17.
