Something special is happening after hours at 577 this November!
On Saturday, November 7, the gardens and grounds will stay open a little later for 577 After Hours: Starry Skies & Firelight, a special ticketed fundraising event for adults ages 21 and up.
Inspired by the warmth of a crackling fire and the wonder of the night sky, the evening is an invitation to experience 577 in a whole new way. Wander through the gardens after dark, gather around the fire, enjoy seasonal food and drinks, listen to live music, create something by hand, and discover special activities throughout the grounds.
An Evening to Wander, Linger, & Explore
From 6pm to 8pm, guests can explore the gardens and select buildings at their own pace, with plenty of opportunities to slow down, connect with others, and enjoy the simple pleasures of a fall evening under the stars.
There’s no schedule to follow and nowhere you need to be at a particular time. Whether enjoying a seasonal treat, browsing the Welcome Center & Curiosity Shop, or discovering something unexpected along the way, the evening is yours to explore.
An Evening That Gives Back
Proceeds from 577 After Hours: Starry Skies & Firelight will support 577’s Children’s Nature Play Fund, helping create more opportunities for children and families to explore, discover, and connect with the natural world.
The fund supports improvements and additions to the Children’s Nature PlayScape, the Bee Room, and other hands-on sensory experiences at 577. These spaces encourage curiosity, imagination, and outdoor play, allowing children to discover nature in their own way.
By joining us for an evening under the stars, guests will also be helping create more opportunities for the next generation to learn, play, and grow at 577.
Join Us Under the Stars!
