Tickets are $25 for adults and $15 for ages 6 to 18; children 5 and younger get in for free.
“Wright, his family and his apprentices celebrated many holidays here over the course of the two decades that they migrated between Taliesin in Wisconsin and Taliesin West in Arizona,” Alex Freyermuth of the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation said in a press release.
He added the holiday celebration was a chance for visitors to see the grounds “in a new way.”
Only certain areas of the 620-acre site are part of the event, and tours are not included.
The national historic landmark off Loop 101 Pima Freeway at Frank Lloyd Wright Boulevard opened in 1937.
