Belmont, you are glowing. Daniel Stowe Botanical Garden is launching its summer exhibit, “Nature’s Nightlights,” on Friday, July 5. The gardens will be illuminated to highlight the garden’s beauty.

“We’re lighting up the night with artistically displayed lighting through inspiration of fireflies or shooting stars,” said Steph Newman, Creative Director at Daniel Stowe Botanical Garden.

Pro tip: Check out the firefly-like lighting in the Lost Hollow Children’s Garden.

“Nature’s Nightlights” will be more than a light display — guests can expect live music and movies under the stars during the exhibit’s run.
