The countdown is on for Brookgreen Gardens’ Nights of a Thousand Candles event, returning to the Murrells Inlet venue on Sat., Nov. 26. This sneak peek of the decoration process has us a little giddy.

In case you missed it, we shared the scoop on this award-winning light display running through Sun., Jan 1. If we didn’t quite sell you on the event with this photo, or our by-the-numbers breakdown, maybe this post will.

Seriously, imagine this already gorgeous landscape elevated by 2,700 hand-lit candles + millions of other sparking lights. Find the outdoor sculpture garden at 1931 Brookgreen Dr. + dont forget to grab your ticket before they sell out. 🌟
