Discover the unexpected at Maymont during Garden Glow presented by Kroger, October 16 – November 10. New light sculptures will sprout up along the expanded Kinsale Glow Path and the Japanese Garden presented by Colesville Nursery will be transformed by color and lighting effects into a mesmerizing experience for 22 nights this fall. Delight in the wonder of Maymont’s most popular annual event, a chance to revel in the great outdoors with friends and family.

NEW THIS YEAR!

More nights means more evenings with discounted admission, and Maymont members enjoy free admission on October 16, 22 and 29.

The experience begins at The Robins Nature Center, where the Kinsale Glow Path winds past creative light installations by international artists along the way to the Glow Village on the Carriage House Lawn. At the Glow Village, gather around a fire pit or some glow furniture and enjoy some food and drink from the Glow Bar and fun activities for all ages. Why not splurge on a fun Glow Cup presented by Davenport?

Then venture down the Woodland Trail into the enchantment of the colorful Japanese Garden presented by Colesville Nursery. Allow at least an hour and a half to enjoy the full experience, and come prepared to walk about a mile and a half, with some slopes and inclines. Transportation will be offered for participants who need assistance.

Fun in the Glow Village

The Glow Village offers fun activities for all ages. Strike a colorful pose by the Shadow Wall presented by Juno Financial Group or express your creativity at the Big Bright Mega Light board. Take a turn on the new Glow Swings, or grab a seat by a fire pit and reconnect with friends and family.
