Nights of a Thousand Candles
November 28, 2025 @ 4:00 pm - January 4, 2026 @ 9:00 pm

Returning to Brookgreen for its 26th year this holiday season, Nights of a Thousand Candles will cast a warm glow across the 9,127-acre nature preserve on 22 enchanting evenings from Nov. 28 – Jan. 4, featuring over 2,700 candles and millions of twinkling lights adorning ancient live oaks and illuminating the Garden’s breathtaking array of large-scale sculpture. Each evening will commence with a ceremonial lighting of the iconic Holiday Tree, an 80-foot, live China Fir, accompanied by live holiday music, seasonal beverages and festive bites.
For over a quarter-century, Nights of a Thousand Candles has become a must-see tradition, providing a breathtaking backdrop for meaningful moments and cherished holiday memories while supporting Brookgreen Gardens’ broader mission to conserve the region’s natural flora, fauna and rich history for future generations.
