Enjoy a magical, one-of-a-kind, outdoor lighting display when the world-renowned JC Raulston Arboretum in Raleigh opens its gates after dark for the first time in decade. The gates will open from 6 pm – 9 pm each evening on November 5-6 & November 11-12. Thousands of luminaries will light the way to dozens of artistic illuminations and special effects designed by Southern Lights of Raleigh. Artists and lighting companies across the nation have contributed to this extraordinary autumn fundraiser that showcases the publically-supported JC Raulston Arboretum after dark. Highlights include: · An installation by Kelly Francis of Texas, “Fireflies,” which will greet guests at the garden’s new pedestrian entrance. · Stone creations by local artist, Bob Simchock, will light the way to the Lath House giving guests a taste of the art in the garden. These one-of-a-kind stone features will be available for purchase with a portion of the proceeds going to support the Arboretum. · An interactive, forty-light, color display in the Scree Garden and Xeric Garden courtesy of FX Luminaire of Atlanta. In addition to JCRA’s spectacular plants, paths and views, guests of all ages will enjoy fire pits, marshmallows, live music and food trucks, plus the star of the show—a world-class garden after dark. “A garden at night is magical when form and texture, light and shadow create a whole new experience. John Gardner of Southern Lights of Raleigh, Inc.has done an amazing job capturing the spirit of the Raulston and our world renowned collection,” Mark Weathington, Director, JC Raulston Arboretum A MEMORABLE EVENING OUT for couples, families, and out-of-town guests.
