Along the Morton Arboretum’s wooded one-mile path, visitors to Morton Arboretum’s Illumination: Tree Lights will discover a series of experiences that encourage them to see trees in a different light. Visitors can see a grove of hemlock trees’ transform different colors, and trees that appear to be gently breathing. Additionally, visitors can hug a tree and watch it respond or see a show of lights that dance in the trees in time to music.
This year’s fifth Illumination: Tree Lights will include new interactive experiences such as wearing programmed pendants that light up in sync with the event
