"Moonlight in the Garden is your only opportunity to experience the JC Raulston Arboretum after dark. Wander through the internationally acclaimed plant collection transformed by artful lighting, listen to live music, grab a bite from a food truck, gather around the fire pits and warm up with a cup of hot apple cider.
The garden takes on an entirely different character at night, with trees, plants and pathways illuminated in unexpected and beautiful ways. Bring your family and friends and discover the garden after dark on a crisp November evening. Tickets are required. Proceeds support the JC Raulston Arboretum and help keep the garden open and admission free 365 days a year.
Tickets available for purchase on the JCRA website. Purchase advance tickets for the best selection of dates and entry times: every half hour from 5:30PM - 8PM.
Event recurs Fridays and Saturdays from November 6-21, 2026.
Children must be accompanied by an adult.
