Rockford Park District’s Nicholas Conservatory & Gardens invites the community to wear anything that glows, and experience Glow in the Garden evening of family fun and activities to mark the end of summer, Friday, September 17, 2021, from 6:00 to 9:00 pm.

Purchase one or more floating lanterns to personalize with your own message and release into the Eclipse Lagoon, run a unique, glowing 5K along the Rock River, and enjoy fun interactive garden stations throughout the Conservatory. There will also be a free 200-meter kids fun run at 7 pm, with no registration required. Admission to the outdoor grounds is free; fees are charged for the 5K run, Lagoon lantern purchase, and admission to Nicholas Conservatory. Lagoon lanterns can be purchased at the event while supplies last
