At night, the park comes to life with dazzling light displays throughout Vista Gardens, and the Treetop Skywalk transforms into Firefly Forest!  The flowers and art in Vista Gardens are the center piece of Blooms and Tunes. Visitors will love the whimsical, spring-themed art installations in the garden. 29 flower sculptures can be found throughout the park, plus other art pieces and, of course, an incredible number of real flowers. As the Blooms and Tunes website points out, “the very best art is by Mother Nature herself.” During the entirety of Blooms and Tunes, guests can enjoy live music by the Anakeesta park band in Black Bear Village. Songs range from classic bluegrass and mountain fiddling to popular country hits. You won’t be able to keep yourself from dancing! ![277297920_5126508220726025_5568081717276185006_n](https://www.smokymountains.me/hs-fs/hubfs/277297920_5126508220726025_5568081717276185006_n.jpg?width=1365&name=277297920_5126508220726025_5568081717276185006_n.jpg) Photo from [https://www.facebook.com/AnakeestaTN/](https://www.facebook.com/AnakeestaTN/)  Spring is on the menu at all of the dining venues in Anakeesta.
