Autumn Lights Festival in The Gardens at Lake Merritt

Lighted art, fire, and sound installations by Local Bay Area Artists
Food, Beer & Wine, Artist's Museum Store

Imagine several acres of garden illuminated with weird and enchanting art installations created by local Bay Area artists. Electric fireflies flickering in the trees, glowing waterfalls, a Polynesian Paradise with hand-crafted tiki lanterns and hula girls projected on palm trees, fire-spewing flowers and live fire performers light the night. Music and sound installations surprise at every turn on the garden paths lit with hundreds of luminarias. Attendees are invited to participate during the evening by coming dressed in their most interesting illuminated garden attire.

$35 at door/$25 in advance.
