I Love Memphis

The Enchanted Forest has been a sign of Christmastime in Memphis for more than 50 years. Originally, it was at the Gayoso Hotel, and when that closed, it moved to Goldsmiths. At Goldsmiths, designer Barry Hartzog made the Enchanted Forest something really special – different costumes for the animatronic animals every year and new scenes so that the forest looked totally different every year.

Now, the Enchanted Forest is at the Pink Palace Museum, and all of the proceeds from it are donated to LeBonheur Children’s Medical Center.
