Be mesmerised by dramatically lit glass sculptures at this evening event.

As the sun sets on an enchanting garden, discover soaring sculptures by the world’s most celebrated contemporary glass artist.

From the setting sun to the artwork's dramatic nighttime lighting, witness how the changing light lends new dimensions to the 15 playful, vibrant artworks on a journey through Adelaide Botanic Garden.

Included in your Chihuly Nights ticket, explore the rainforest conservatory exhibition, In Full Colour: Dale Chihuly, where an additional collection of works can be found nestled in the lush botanical setting.

Head to the pavilion in the heart of the garden to enjoy live music and something delicious to eat and drink from award-winning caterers. 

You can check out the Evergreen Deli's Chihuly Nights menu here.

It’s a feast for the senses!
