The sixth annual Garden Glow, at Maymont, will run through November 12. After dark, dramatic

lighting effects transform the familiar gardens and architecture into a sensory adventure.

Wednesday through Sunday evenings, the Glow Village springs to life on the Carriage House

Lawn, featuring cozy fire pits, a rotating selection of local food trucks, a Glow Bar and fun

activities like the life-size Big Bright Mega Light and the Shadow Wall. Guests can shop from an

array of brightly lit accessories and the highlight of the evening is an immersive, self-paced stroll

through the gardens.

Maymont President and CEO Parke Richeson says, “We hope everyone has a chance to come out

and experience Maymont in a whole new light.” This year features a new art installation,

Positiva, by local artist Alfonso Pérez Acosta, who is engaging members of the community in a

participatory project to paint lightbulbs with messages addressed to someone that could use the

positive thoughts. These bulbs will light up the interior of the arborvitae grove alongside the

artist’s own hand-painted bulbs. Guests can take a selfie with the artwork and share their own

positive messages via social media.
