Gather ‘round the moonlit path & glow with us for California Botanic Garden’s Luminaria Nights festival!
We’re psyched to soundtrack the Forest Pavilion this evening with the great and powerful Maylee Todd. Follow your ears through winding paths, majestic oaks, stone snakes, and sit in the radiant beams of Maylee’s new music for harp. Between sets we’ll be looping flutes from hither to zither & it’s alllllll going down within one of our all time favorite gardens and the largest to devote themselves to the preservation, cultivation, and communal education of California native plants.
Come with that curious spirit, as a portion of the grounds will display peaceful luminaria and string light lined paths between beautifully illuminated musical venues. Each night of CBG’s annual Luminaria Nights also features at least three live performers, art installations, food, sweet treats, and beverages culled just for us.
Living Earth members receive a $5 discount on admission & we’ll see you under the moonlight!
