Spring Blooms: After Dark

Join us in The Garden for a special after-hours night where blossoms glow as twilight sets in. Inspired by the magic of the spring season and the wonder of Newfields living collections, experience a peaceful evening among spring’s fleeting blooms. All evening long, enjoy pop up creative stations, special drinks and bites from the Newfields Culinary Team, and a make-your-own tea station.

Step inside the historic Lilly House, wander through the Madeline F. Elder Greenhouse bursting with orchids, enjoy guided garden tours to learn from the experts, and don't miss the beautiful Glick Fountain dance in harmony with light and music specially recorded by the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra. Along the way, keep an eye out for whimsical photo opportunities to capture the beauty of the season after dark.
