What to expect at the Autumn Lights Festival
The Gardens at Lake Merritt cover a seven-acre area that visitors will navigate by strolling paved paths. Children (and strollers) are welcome.

A food court will provide meals and beverages for sale. Guests can bring food inside, but not alcoholic beverages which will be for sale on site. Live music and performances (fire artist last year!) are wonderful.
