Garden Lights returns to Middleton Place for select evenings this winter, offering a rare opportunity to experience America’s Oldest Landscaped Gardens after dark. From January 29 through February 16, wander illuminated pathways as colorful light installations highlight beloved garden vistas at the height of camellia season.

Stroll beneath the night sky along Camellia Allée, pause by the tranquil reflections of the Sundial Garden overlooking the Ashley River, and experience the landscape transformed into an immersive celebration of art, nature, and history that invites reflection and wonder.

In honor of our nation’s 250th anniversary and as home to Arthur Middleton, signer of the Declaration of Independence, this year’s presentation will also feature one striking red, white, and blue light display.

Bring friends and family and discover the gardens in a whole new light.

Your visit helps preserve our National Historic Landmark for future generations as a space for education, inspiration, and reflection. A portion of each ticket is dedicated to the Middleton Scholars Education Fund, which supports the educational advancement of the African American descendant community.
