Cantigny GLOW, the third “signature” event of Cantigny’s fun-packed summer, is Saturday, August 17, from 7 pm to midnight.
An exciting evening is planned for ages 21 and over. Live music, dancing, food, and drinks throughout the beautifully illuminated Cantigny Gardens will make it a night to remember.
Guests can savor craft beers and fluorescent cocktails surrounded by dazzling neon colors in our glowing gardens, begging to be explored. “Fueled by Emo” will rock the house with favorite hits from the 2000s. Find your
inner Olympian and compete with your friends on light-up mini golf, glow-in-the-dark axe throwing, cornhole and Connect 4 basketball.
“GLOW offers guests a magical nighttime opportunity to experience a beautifully illuminated Cantigny," said Matt LaFond, Executive Director. "This will be a throwback evening of live music, nostalgic lawn games, and plenty of fun cocktails from six different bars across the gardens.”
Tickets for Cantigny GLOW are on sale now at two price levels, Standard ($40) and VIP Luxe ($140), at Cantigny.org. Parking is complimentary.
Luxe tickets (limited supply) provide guests with access to a private garden space with a private open bar featuring beer, liquor, wine selections, and delicious small bites throughout the evening. There are also two additional late-night food stations, VIP parking, and a welcome cocktail.
French spirits group Rémy Cointreau will be on-site during GLOW with samples, giveaways, and cocktail demonstrations and a specialty Cointreau menu. Rémy is best known for premium cognacs, liqueurs and champagne.
On August 17, Cantigny will be open only to GLOW ticketholders after 4 pm.
