The highlight of the evening will be a giant origami exhibit on display througout the gardens. Enjoy the masterful geometric shapes and natural images come to life in paper form. The exhibit will be accompanied by Japanese music and delicious treats for purchase from Takoyaki Balls food truck. It is sure to be a night to remember.

Take cover, because throughout August, buildings will tumble, mountains will crumble, and monsters will rumble as Godzilla takes on The Loft Cinema in an epic battle for silver screen domination!”
