CHRISTMAS IN ROSELAND

At the end of the year, the gardens are magically transformed into a winter wonderland of twinkling lights for Christmas in Roseland – our largest fundraiser of the year for the gardens. 

 2025 will mark our 42nd year for Christmas in Roseland! We are open Thursday through Saturday Dec, 4-7, and Dec. 11-14, and then Friday through Sunday, Dec. 19-21, with special Encore Nights continuing Dec. 22nd & 23rd, 2025

 Be sure to visit Christmas in Roseland on Dec. 12th-14th for our Christmas Market. Vendors of beautiful soaps, linens, wood products and other handmade products and gift items will be present. 

 One of the most popular displays at Christmas in Roseland is the display of Christmas Cards to the Community made by area schools. 8’ x 4’, beautifully designed and painted by school children of elementary and middle schools of the Shreveport-Bossier area.
