JC Raulston Arboretum is hosting Moonlight in the Garden the 2nd and 3rd weekends in November. This isn’t your typical lighting event! Moonlight in the Garden is meticulously designed to showcase the internationally acclaimed garden and all its splendor, and it’s your only chance to see the garden at night!
Bring your family and friends to stroll through the garden, listen to a live band, grab a bite to eat from a food truck, roast a marshmallow or two at the fire pits, and sip a cup of hot apple cider, all while showing your support for the JC Raulston Arboretum.
