Lightscape is coming to Encinitas from November 17, 2023, to January 1, 2024. This one-mile walking trail loop has been reinvented to surprise and excite visitors, including intriguing new installations and old favorites.

True to its theme of ‘merging art with nature,’ Lightscape aims to dazzle the night with color, creativity, and melody. Patrons will surely be treated to a stunning display of light and shade, including a California poppy-inspired show called the “Floraison,” an illuminated laser sky named “Liquid Sky,” whimsical fiber optic flowers, and a customized floral display inspired by SDBG’s landscape.
