I took in Brookgreen Gardens Nights Of A Thousand Candles<\/a> on Wednesday 3 December this year. For a midweek showing, they had a pretty good crowd, though it being a school night, there were not a lot of kids.<\/p>\n

At last year's event, the Garden Of The Muses<\/i> was closed due to the start of construction on the Judith Wall Courtyard<\/i>, which is nearly done this year. The part that was opened looked like it will be a nice addition with a restaurant patio overlooking the Muses. My impression is that the event this year was slightly smaller in scope than previously, with only one entertainment tent on the Christmas Tree side of the gardens, and with the food trucks being deployed near that rather than down the walkway to Pegasus<\/i>. In addition there were no fire-pits for s'mores, which I had been looking forward to. The weather was pretty good: Crisp, but not so cold that my hands froze taking pictures, and there was a spectacular full moon.<\/p>\n

There are still a good number of nights you can catch the festival during the rest of the year. You can (and must) get tickets at brookgreen.org<\/a>. My experience this year and previous years is that all the nights will initially show on the ticketing page as \"Sold Out\", but that as a particular day approaches, spots will open up, so keep trying!<\/p>\n
