Holiday [Showcase + GLOW] Opening Night
Start the holiday season with a magical evening at Holiday [Showcase + GLOW] Opening Night from 5 to 9 p.m. on Friday, Dec. 4. Take an enchanting stroll through the magical, illuminated gardens of Holiday GLOW, shop from local vendors at the Holiday Showcase, and enjoy festive music, food, and drinks!
Grab a drink from the Solarium Bar and stroll through the decorated Mansion as you shop from specially selected artisans and businesses. Stop by the Carriage House for natural-ornament making with the Monticello Area Art Council, where you can make an ornament for our courtyard tree and one to take home!
Entertainment will include performances from the Monticello High School Madrigal singers in the Mansion Courtyard from 6-8 p.m. (breaks every 30 minutes) and the Quest Church Handbell Choir in the Brick Wall Garden from 5-8 p.m. (performances at the top of every hour).
Food trucks will also be onsite.
