This year’s event will also feature some special guests to add to the night time garden experience. On Friday February 3rd, Lazlo Hollyfeld, an all instrumental group will be playing original compositions during the light show. John & Mary, an original folk rock group, will be performing on Friday February 10th. The GAHU Drum Ensemble will wrap things up on February 17th. Originally from the Chautauqua area, their accomplished traditional percussion style will accent the lighting and soundscapes of the gardens.
The lighting displays are organized by Sitler HQ and Volt Vision. This is the same group who lit up the gardens last year and per the Botanical Gardens website helped to make last year’s event successful.
