Seasonal features have been a tradition at the Flowering Bridge since 2013, and after a 2-year hiatus, our volunteers are thrilled to bring them back this year. It has long been a tradition for visitors to stroll through the gardens to see the whimsical displays during the holidays.
Fall Feature – Pumpkin People
Running through November 3rd
Our popular Pumpkin People return and will be displayed throughout the gardens. Come stroll the gardens and enjoy the whimsical Pumpkin People and take in the fall beauty of the Hickory Nut Gorge.
Holiday Feature – Christmas Around the World
November 17 – January 12
Travel the world, right here at Lake Lure Flowering Bridge this holiday season. Volunteers will create decorative vignettes depicting countries from around the world in each garden. Guaranteed fun day or night, the displays will be complemented by festive holiday lights.
Winter Feature – Sleds in Beds

Garden beds will feature colorful, sled-themed winter vignettes alongside white holiday lights. A perfect destination for a family afternoon picnic or evening stroll with hot chocolate.
