Due to the effects from the pandemic, the festive Garden of Lights tradition in Montrose is being tweaked, at least for December. With cases rising and the county still in orange (high risk) on the stateâs dial dashboard, the walk through the garden has been canceled.
âSee you next year! The Gardens appreciate everyoneâs support and understanding as we get through these unprecedented times,â the organization said in a Facebook update.
However, residents interested in catching the bright displays arenât out of luck. Montrose Botanical Society volunteers have been hard at work lately to place displays throughout the garden, so from Dec. 18 through Dec. 26, locals can drive on Pavilion Drive (next to the Pavilion) and catch a glimpse of the lights with a slow drive-by.
