Start the holiday season with a magical evening at Holiday [Showcase + GLOW] Opening Night from 5 to 9 p.m. on Friday, Dec. 5. 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!
Be sure to swing by the Carriage House for the Monticello Area Art Council’s Natural Ornament-Making Workshop, where you can make an ornament for the courtyard tree and one to take home!
Entertainment will include performances in the Brick Wall Garden by the Quest Church Bell Choir and in the Mansion Courtyard by the Monticello High School Madrigal singers.
Food trucks will also be onsite.
