Summer Light: Art by Night invites you to experience the charm of historic Brookgreen Gardens in a whole new way—after the sun goes down. Stroll through the sculpture garden and discover a series of captivating light installations that transform the landscape into a glowing wonderland.

This year’s highlight is Gardens of Glass: The Art of Craig Mitchell Smith, a breathtaking exhibit featuring thirty larger-than-life glass sculptures displayed throughout the Gardens. As twilight sets in, these stunning pieces come alive with light, creating a truly magical ambiance. Don’t miss the exclusive pop-up gallery in the Noble Gallery, where you can view smaller works by the artist up close.

Enjoy live music from local bands every night all summer long, adding rhythm and energy to your evening.

Please note: the Gardens close for daytime visitors at 5:00 PM and reopen at 6:00 PM for Summer Light. A separate ticket is required for daytime and evening visits, but you’ll receive a discount if you purchase both at once.

Food and drinks will be available throughout the evening.
