Starting this Friday: everything you need to know about the Malaga Botanical Garden's light show this Christmas

Another year brings Christmas to the La Concepción Historical-Botanical Garden in the most visual and brilliant way possible. From this upcoming Friday, November 28, until January 6, its space will transform into a trail of lights and Christmas elements, this time under the name of Alice Christmas: Christmas in the Garden of Wonders. It is a nighttime show that will transform its paths into an immersive journey inspired by the work of Lewis Carroll. The production, managed by Grupo Mundo, proposes a sensory journey where nature, literature, and technology intertwine to offer a unique experience during this season. Tickets are already on sale: check all the details and schedules.

What is this year's light show at the Malaga Botanical Garden about?

The light show at the Malaga Botanical Garden invites you to discover its space from a fantastical perspective, following a story that reinterprets the universe of Alice through nine worlds of light, music, and visual effects. During the journey, visitors will encounter characters from its creative universe such as Alice, the Mad Hatter, the White Rabbit, or the Queen of Hearts, who will accompany the audience at different stages of the route.

Each stage of the journey, from the Ice Lake to the ascent to the Golden Heart Dome, one of the most emblematic viewpoints of the Botanical Garden, has been designed to immerse the spectator in a Christmas narrative that combines emotions, fantasy, and a unique natural environment. The proposal also aims to highlight the garden's heritage, merging its history and botanical richness with a contemporary vision that champions the values of Christmas: love, hope, and unity.

How long is the tour?

The performance features an approximate route of 2,200 meters and lasts about one hour and 45 minutes. The setup includes a carefully staged production developed by a team of over 80 professionals, including lighting, sound, security, administration, and catering technicians.

Alongside the visual design, music plays a fundamental role. Composer Alberto Miras signs the original soundtrack that accompanies the tour, while a cast of six actors is responsible for guiding and bringing to life the characters from Alice's world.
