An Evening in the Tropics

See our Conservatory in a whole new light during An Evening in the Tropics. This Friday evening experience offers guests exclusive access to the Conservatory after hours, with market lighting adding warmth to the atmosphere as it gets dark. Explore at your own pace or join an informal Q&A with a member of our Horticulture team to learn about unique displays, seasonal highlights and ongoing Conservatory updates.

Make an evening of your visit before your dinner plans! Enjoy the brand new Great Hall lounge, featuring live music with a tropical twist from Jonah Bacon, a pop-up plein air art gallery painted in our Conservatory by the Gaston County Art Guild, and a cash bar with unique specialty cocktails to match the tropical vibe!

Your ticket gets you access to the after-hours Conservatory, live music, and the Great Hall lounge for a cozy evening. Beverages will be available for purchase at our bar. Light snacks will be provided. Artwork may be marked for sale at the discretion of the artist-- take home a piece of the tropics!
