Summer Light: Art by Night Brookgreen Gardens

Don't miss Summer Light: Art by Night!

On Wednesdays and Saturdays from June 4th - August 30th, Brookgreen Gardens presents the opportunity to explore and experience the historic landscapes on summer evenings. Multiple installations throughout the sculpture garden feature a variety of techniques that light up the Gardens.

This year, experience Gardens of Glass: The Art of Craig Mitchell Smith - a breathtaking exhibition showcasing thirty larger-than-life glass sculptures throughout the Gardens. As evening falls, these stunning works will be beautifully illuminated, creating a magical atmosphere. A special pop-up gallery featuring smaller pieces by the artist will also be on display in the Noble Gallery. Various bands will perform live music each night throughout the summer and a variety of food and beverage options will be available.

The Gardens will close for general admission at 5 p.m. Gates will reopen at 6:00 p.m. for Summer Light. A separate ticket is needed for the day and evening, and a discount is available if you purchase both simultaneously.
