Moonlight in the Gardens
Explore the arboretum after dark with artful lighting, live music, food trucks, and fire pits.
Moonlight in the Garden offers the only opportunity to experience the JC Raulston Arboretum after dark. Visitors can wander through the internationally acclaimed plant collection transformed by artful lighting, listen to live music, grab a bite from a food truck, gather around fire pits and warm up with a cup of hot apple cider. At night, the garden takes on an entirely different character, with trees, plants and pathways illuminated in unexpected and beautiful ways. Families and friends are invited to discover the garden after dark on a crisp November evening. Tickets are required and available for purchase on the JC Raulston Arboretum website. Proceeds support the arboretum and help keep the garden open and admission-free 365 days a year.
