Colorful holiday lights decorate the entrance to Georgeson Botanical Garden. Visitors can enjoy holiday lights at the garden three evenings per week through Feb. 14.

Georgeson Botanical Garden will extend its Arctic Lights holiday light display after weeks of frigid weather in Interior Alaska kept many people indoors.

Lacey Higham, Georgeson directing manager, said a more optimistic weather forecast for the next few weeks influenced the decision to keep the lights on through Feb. 14. The garden, located on the 夜色福利 Troth Yeddha' Campus, will be illuminated from 5-9 p.m. on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays until Valentine's Day.

Visitors should stay on the paths and take care, as they may be icy or uneven due to varying weather conditions. Donations are encouraged. Children must be accompanied by an adult.
