RICHMOND, Va. (WRIC) — Garden Glow at Maymont will return in mid-October, providing dramatic artistic lighting displays that will transform the historic architecture and gardens into a magical experience for the whole family.
This year, the event is projected to be bigger than ever, with expanded seating and art installations on the Carriage House Lawn, as well as food trucks, fire pits, a Glow Bar and Glow Shop where an array of twinkling, glowing souvenirs can be purchased. Alcohol will be available for purchase for guests aged 21 and older.
Visitors will enter Maymont at the Magnolia Gates, located at the north end of the Hampton Street parking lot. The self-guided walking tour will include illuminations through the Italian Garden, the WestRock Woodland Trail and the Japanese Garden, with local artists Jeff Dobrow and Alfonso Pérez Acosta creating one-of-a-kind art installations on-site.
