Franklin Park Conservatory lights its 17 Chihuly glass installations for an evening of docent tours and live music on Saturday, November 7, 2026.
Franklin Park Conservatory stays open late on Saturday, November 7, 2026, for its November Chihuly Night, running 6:00 to 10:00 p.m. at 1777 East Broad Street. It is part of a monthly series, and this edition is the one that falls in the darker, cooler weeks of fall.
The conservatory holds the largest private collection of Dale Chihuly glass shown in a botanical setting in the country, and on these nights all 17 installations are lit after sunset. The blown-glass forms take on a different look once the sky goes dark and the light comes from inside the glass.
Docent-led tours lasting about 45 minutes leave at 6:30, 7:00, 7:30 and 8:00 p.m. as an add-on. From 8:30 to 9:30 p.m., the husband-and-wife acoustic duo Starlit Ways, Rose Nkechi and Chris Glover, perform. The cafe, the Botanica gift shop and a cash bar stay open, and the night is open to all ages with special engagement admission.
