Dallas Fort Worth, TX, August 6, 2026 —

The Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Garden has announced that its widely popular 12 Days of Christmas Gazebos exhibit will conclude after the 2026 holiday season. The decision marks the end of a long-standing tradition that has drawn significant crowds to the arboretum during the festive period.

The exhibit, which features elaborately decorated gazebos each representing a verse from the classic Christmas carol “The 12 Days of Christmas,” has been a staple of holiday celebrations in the Dallas area for many years. Visitors have come to expect a new set of themed gazebos each year, offering a unique and immersive holiday experience.

The specific reasons for the discontinuation of the exhibit were not provided in the announcement. However, the Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Garden stated that the 2026 holiday season will be the final opportunity for the public to experience the 12 Days of Christmas Gazebos in their current format.

The arboretum has not yet announced any plans for alternative holiday exhibits or programming to replace the popular gazebos. Further details regarding future holiday events are expected to be released in the coming months. The announcement comes as the arboretum continues to offer its current seasonal programming and prepares for its upcoming events calendar.

The 12 Days of Christmas Gazebos exhibit has been a significant attraction, contributing to the arboretum’s visitor numbers and its reputation as a premier holiday destination. Its cessation is anticipated to prompt changes in visitor expectations and potentially require the development of new attractions to maintain holiday engagement.
