Tickets Now on Sale for Brookgreen Gardens’ Nights of a Thousand Candles
Brookgreen Gardens today announced tickets are on sale for Nights of a Thousand Candles, their annual holiday light display that draws visitors from across the country. Held on select nights between November 26th, 2022 through January 1st, 2023, the event features thousands of hand-lit candles and millions of lights draped among the landscapes and large sculptures of Brookgreen’s botanical gardens. A nightly tree lighting ceremony will kick off the event, which also features live music performances, libations, holiday-themed exhibits, and much more, to celebrate the holiday season.
“There is always something new to see at this event, which keeps guests returning year after year,” said Page Kiniry, President and CEO of Brookgreen Gardens. “There is no better way to get in the holiday spirit than a visit to Nights of a Thousand Candles. This event will sell out, so we encourage everyone to get their tickets now. Don’t miss the opportunity to stroll through the festively lit gardens with a cup of hot cider or cocoa with family and friends.”
The Old Kitchen in the heart of the sculpture garden will be serving small bites, soup, and beverages. The Brookgreen beverage station will provide beer, wine, and hot cocoa. Each evening, guests can enjoy the “Lighting of the Trees” at 6:45 pm at the Leonard Pavilion. The Harvest Restaurant will also be open and accepting reservations for evening indoor and terrace dining.
