A SEASON OF SPARKLE & MAGIC UNDER THE STARS
Get ready for a holiday experience unlike any other… Our magical “Snowglow” at The Dome pop-up returns to Hi-Lawn for a limited 6-week run, from November 15-January 4!
Immerse yourself in a winter wonderland high above the bustle of the city. Our 50-foot spherical bar above Union Market transforms into a globe of holiday magic with awe-inspiring animated visuals, spirited cocktails, festive eats, and plenty of holiday cheer!
SNOWGLOW
AT THE DOME
Snowglow at The Dome will take guests on a truly unforgettable immersive visual journey of ethereal animated holiday scenes, all custom-crafted by award-winning Australian digital artist Laura Alice (who also worked on The Dome’s Bloomroom experience in the spring). Inspired by The Dome’s spherical space, the visuals will evoke a swirling snowglobe, “shaking up” snow and cascading down in magical patterns between scenes.
Projected above and 360 degrees around the walls of The Dome, the awe-inspiring visual experience by artist Laura Alice will transport the viewer to a world of winter scenes that both inspire and elate.
Following the North Star, each snowglobe scene celebrates winter light in all its different forms - floating candles, fairy lights in trees, firelight, iridescent light streaming though ice crystals, illuminated birds from yuletide folklore bringing sparkling, snow and stars to the sky, and a glorious illuminated Christmas tree. Each frame is designed to pull you into a different world – a place where you’re not just watching but truly experiencing the magic of the holidays.
THE VISUAL EXPERIENCE
Snowglow’s holiday food and beverage menus take inspiration from fancy neighborhood holiday parties of decades past. Think: festive shindigs from the 1960s, 70s and 80s, a little bougie, a lot fun, and full of holiday spirit.
To drink, expect spiced eggnog and tropical Swedish punches, walnut Manhattans and Snowgronis, and hot drinks such as torched marshmallow-topped cherry hot chocolates and soothing applejack toddies (also available N/A), designed to warm guests up from the inside out.
SPIRITED + HOT COCKTAILS
To pair with the creative beverages, Chefs Nathan Beauchamp and Sam George will serve an a la carte menu of festive, shareable small plates and elevated throwback eats such as Alpine fondue, stuffed mushrooms, wagyu party meatballs, ham boards, boozy rum balls and more.
FESTIVE SMALL PLATES
Located on the Rooftop at Union Market, find our 50-foot spherical dome high above the bustle of the city, designed to provide unique and seasonal visual experiences throughout the year.
Snowglow will truly bring holiday magic to life, with festively-decorated tented bars outfitted with colorful ornaments, lush trees, twinkling lights, cozy tartan textiles, and an interactive photo backdrop for guests to capture memories, all creating a warm welcoming hideaway this winter.
The 60-seat heated dome will feature over a dozen reservable dining areas where ticketed guests can eat, drink and take in the overhead projected experience.
OUR DOME
New this year: an open-to-the-public Snowglow Lounge! For those who aren’t able to secure tickets to the Dome, we will also have a heated and tented Snowglow bar open to non-ticket holders with additional seating for up to 75, a dedicated bar, and the same Snowglow food and drink menu as inside The Dome. The Snowglow Lounge will also be available for group reservations and private events.
