Luminous ~ A Celebration of Color & Light | Nov 17 – Dec 23
Filoli is welcoming the community to experience a new vision for the Bay Area’s finest Country Estate. The House will celebrate color and light with a fresh new take on Holiday decor in every room. The Gardens will remain open during this magical time with special Holiday touches during the day and will be elegantly lit in the evening. Garden Lights will be expanded to include more of the Garden and Pool. The tradition of inspired holiday shopping will be reimagined with centerpiece trees in the Clock Tower Shop with three Artisan market weekends. Entertainment will bring to life the sounds of the Holidays. Delectable delights will await guests in the Quail’s Nest Café. This Holiday tradition offers something for everyone!
