November 17, 2021 – Lights in Bloom® at the Downtown Sarasota campus of Marie Selby Botanical Gardens (Selby Gardens) has become an annual holiday-season favorite locally and across the wider Gulf Coast region. Now the beloved open-air holiday light show is in the running to be named one of the nation’s 10 best botanical garden holiday light displays by readers of USA Today.

Lights in Bloom® is one of 20 botanical garden light shows nominated for the USA Today 10Best Readers’ Choice 2021 Award. Voting in the contest runs until noon on December 6. Anyone may vote daily for Lights in Bloom® at www.10best.com/awards/travel/.

“Lights in Bloom® gets more spectacular every year,” said Jennifer Rominiecki, president & CEO of Marie Selby Botanical Gardens. “I must thank our partner Affairs in the Air for annually transforming the Gardens for this breathtaking event. I hope everyone who loves Selby Gardens and Lights in Bloom® will show that love by voting for us in this fun contest.”

Selby Gardens’ Lights in Bloom® placed ninth in the USA Today 10Best contest in 2019.

Lights in Bloom will be on view at Selby Gardens’ Downtown Sarasota campus select nights beginning December 11 through January 2, 2022.
