Glow at the Gardens

This fall, the Gardens presents its newest event: Glow at the Gardens. The York Street location will light up the night with jack-o’-lanterns and luminaria-lined pathways winding through the grounds to reveal larger-than-life pumpkin displays. Stories by The Story Seeker, scavenger hunts and other fall-themed activities will be part of the fun. All activities included with admission. Separate costs for food and cash bar.

Activities each evening:

• Stories by The Story Seeker
• Free face or tattoo painting until 8 p.m.
• Scavenger hunt
• Themed pumpkin silent auction
• Pumpkin carver meet-and-greet
• Cash bar with fall specialty cocktails and mocktails
• Come for the pumpkins and stay for dinner and hot beverages! Offshoots Café features fall-inspired dinner specials during Glow at the Gardens. The full café menu is also available.
