Embrace the Fall Season during Gardens at Twilight

Monk Botanical Gardens is excited to announce a brand-new autumn celebration: Gardens at Twilight! While Blossom of Lights will be on pause for 2025, the Gardens invites you to join us for this magical one-night-only event on Friday, October 17, 5–8 pm (with a rain date of Saturday, October 18).

Savor the change of seasons with an autumnal stroll bursting with treats to delight your senses! Guests will enjoy complimentary treats and drinks—including hot chocolate, apple cider, s’mores, and more—while walking along the gently lit paths. The Center for the Visual Arts will host children’s activities, while face painting will be available for an additional fee. Alcoholic beverages and light-up accessories will also be available for purchase.

This family-friendly evening is designed for everyone, whether you’re looking for a quiet, reflective walk or an engaging outdoor adventure. Creative community-made scarecrows will also be on display—be sure to vote for your favorite!

Tickets are $10 per person. Children two and under are free. Learn more and purchase tickets on the Gardens website at https://monkgardens.org/events/special-events/#twilight. Tickets are limited, so grab yours today!

If you can’t make it on October 17, consider visiting the Gardens during Mondays @ Monk on October 13, 20, or 27, 5-7:30. During Monday nights in October, guests can walk the lit trails
for $5 per person. Beverages are available for purchase on these evenings. Please note: dogs are not permitted at Gardens at Twilight, though they are permitted during Mondays @ Monk.
