A Nightcrawler’s Tale in Maymont’s Garden Glow

by | Nov 2, 2023 | ART, COMMUNITY, EVENTS, NIGHTLIFE, OUTDOORS, PHOTOGRAPHY, STREETWEAR & SNEAKERS

In the heart of Maymont, the 6th annual Garden Glow is painting the night, running up to November 12th. Thanks to Kroger’s collaboration, Maymont annually transforms its iconic Italian and Japanese gardens into a luminescent dreamscape. Miss this, and you’ll wait another year to wander through such kaleidoscopic wonder. As autumn nights draw in, let this be the ethereal experience that reignites your spirit.

Capturing this vibe through his lens, photographer Mike Avey teamed up with local dance sensations, X-Glide and D E C O R, bringing a fusion of movement and light to the scene.

Snag your tickets right here —though, heads up, they’re keeping the magic under wraps on November 6th and 7th (Monday and Tuesday). Be there for a dazzling escape from the ordinary.
