Description
Step into a magical evening at the 2025 Midsummer Night's Gleam, happening Saturday, July 19, at Foster Botanical Garden in Honolulu. From 3:00 to 6:00 p.m., guests can enjoy a variety of fun, hands-on activities including giant bubbles, communal art projects, and other interactive experiences designed for all ages. As the sun begins to set, the garden transforms into a radiant wonderland, illuminated by thousands of glowing luminaries and artistic light displays spread across the lush, 14-acre landscape.

The evening continues with live music, cultural performances, and food vendors offering local and global favorites, creating a festive and relaxing atmosphere under the stars. The powerful African drumming ensemble Sewa Fare kicks off the event, energizing the garden with rhythm and celebration. On the Lower Stage, keiki will be delighted by a series of whimsical and engaging performances featuring theatrics and classical music by Allegro Keiki and more. The Mendoza Philippine Dance Group and Dragon Beat Hawaii add vibrant cultural flair with traditional dance and taiko drumming, while audiences throughout the evening can enjoy an eclectic mix of entertainment, from the graceful melodies of a harpist to the dynamic finale by MEDAH, the Middle Eastern Dance Artists of Hawaii.
