According to Eliana Brown, director of the Red Oak Rain Garden, this is its third year putting together this event.
Brown said that the event is free and open to the community, combining topics like nature, creativity and sustainability.
“We want people to visit the garden and discover something new about the connections between art, culture and the environment,” Brown said. “It is a little different at night, and then it’s even more different on this particular night because of the illuminated part of the event.”
