Nights of a Thousand Candles
Brookgreen Gardens (late Nov–Dec)
Nights of a Thousand Candles is a beautiful holiday view of Brookgreen Gardens. It is only offered for a few weekend nights beginning in late November until mid-December. The sculpture garden is enhanced by a thousand candles along with optional dinner and adult beverages or coffee and hot chocolate.
Visitors usually want to return each year for changing exhibits. Also, live music is presented in different sections of the park.
Many find it a good idea to arrive before dark and watch the lighting underway by dozens of volunteers while getting a great view of the sculptures and the gardens. Then staying until darkness is important for the presentation of the stunning show.
Tickets are limited, and advance booking is required. Expect heavy traffic enroute to the gardens.
