Festival of Fountains - The Night Garden

Event Details

Event type: All Ages

Festival of Fountains – The Night Garden will introduce guests to a highly visual immersive experience to indulge all their senses! This interpretive storytelling experience of music, water, and lighting invites guests to explore our scenic 22 acre multi-award winning botanical beauty before nightfall, enjoy on site friendly snack and beverage hospitality, and showcase local pop up talent each Saturday before nightfall.

A team of computerized lighting and special effects create a magical theatrical experience! Several gardens including our 100 year old cottonwood at the entrance of the gardens will be illuminated with computerized lighting and synchronized to music. By working with engineers and technology experts around the world, we believe we have created a theatrical fountain experience unlike anything ever seen before in Canada. This is currently the only show of its kind in Canada which introduces custom made international technology.

“This breathtaking one-of-a-kind theatrical performance.It combines hauntingly beautiful original music scores performed by international philharmonic orchestras and world-class singers with a dazzling LED light and fountain show, all set in a magical garden venue. I can only describe it as overwhelmingly beautiful!  I attended the premiere and have never heard so many WOWs coming from an audience! This certainly rivals anything you might see at Vegas or Disney, and is a one-of-a-kind for Canada. It is best described as ‘Avatar meet Fantasia’!  WOWZA”  - Lori D’Ascenzo
