NIGHT LIGHTS AT GRIFFIS SCULPTURE PARK
Sept. 24 – Oct. 11
6902 Mill Valley Road, East Otto, NY
For the 2nd straight year, Griffis Sculpture Park will transform into a mystical nighttime show like no other. The park already beautifully combines art with nature and attracts visitors far and wide, but now you can see it in a whole new light. A portion of the park will be creatively dressed up with lights, illuminating the trails and sculptures with colorful and theatrical ambiance, offering a truly almost surreal experience. Adults and kids alike will appreciate such a unique and magical experience as they walk the pathways guided by light. Brought to you by the folks at SitlerHQ and Volt Vision, Inc.
