Luminaria

December 20, 2024

After a one-year hiatus and input from many repeat patrons, we’ve learned how much our guests care about Luminaria, and what they love the most about it. So, we’re bringing it back to the fundamentals.

In a return to Luminaria’s simple, natural roots, we’re unplugging (most) of the electric lights and celebrating the elemental – candlelight, starlight and firelight – during the darkest nights of the year.

You can slow down and share a moment of serenity with the people you love in a stroll along the candlelit pathways of the Kurimoto Japanese Garden. Warmed by fires and hot apple cider, take in the sounds of a capella singers, light a candle in memory of a loved one and mark the essence of the season in a ritual of peace and beauty.

We welcome you back to the feeling that’s inspired by nature’s embrace – at the essential Luminaria.
