What is Summer Light: Art By Night?

It’s a meeting of nature, art, and light in 10 exclusive lighting techniques. Some 800 upcycled chandeliers and 900 wine-bottle alcoves are part of it. They illuminate Beyond the Garden Wall and Oak Allee in ways you’ve never seen before.

See the blooming flora collection and Conway Glass display, in the Children’s Garden. Enjoy live music and area food trucks each night, in various combinations.
