Maymont Garden Glow

SAVE THE DATE

October 15 – November 9, 2025

Step into a glowing world of color at Garden Glow presented by Kroger — where light and a bit of magic take over Maymont after dark. Wander through mesmerizing light installations by international artists.

After a moderately hilly hike through the woods, enjoy a serene stroll through the Japanese Garden, and fun and refreshments in the Glow Village with your whole crew. Whether you're out for a fun family night or a date with your favorite plus-one, Garden Glow is the perfect way to light up your evening.

All proceeds help Maymont care for its historic mansion, sprawling gardens and resident animals.

Weekends at Garden Glow can be quite popular, so consider the option of discounted admission and a more relaxed experience on one of 13 Value Nights, available during the earlier dates of the 23-night run, and selected weeknights toward the end. Click here to see the calendar. For everyone’s comfort, the event has timed-entry capacity limits. Popular time slots tend to sell out early, so advance purchase is recommended!
