Entertainment will be:
Saturday: Paul Grimshaw Band and Randy McQuay
Sunday: Paul Grimshaw Band and Prettier Than Matt
All other nights are currently SOLD OUT for new tickets.
Due to guests changing plans, some tickets may come available, keep checking!
Nights of a Thousand Candles is rain or shine. While we cannot light candles in the rain, the millions of lights sparkle even more in the reflection of the rain. Bring your umbrella and enjoy!
See Brookgreen Gardens come to life amid the soft glow of more than 2,800 hand-lit candles and countless sparkling lights. From 4 p.m. - 9 p.m. walk the garden pathways with a warm cup of cider, cocoa, or wine. Hear the sounds of holiday music, carolers singing, and celebrate the season with family and friends!
We have added 12 additional nights to our annual event for safety, social distancing, and crowd control. We will have half the amount of tickets available each night compared to previous years.
