Fall Fireside & Scenic Tyler Kickoff
Thursday, October 5, from 5:00 – 8:00 pm
Food Trucks & Beer • Large Art Show • Free S’mores • Honey Tasting • Fall Photo Ops
As the leaves start to paint the landscape, there’s no better time to gather your friends and family for an after-hours evening at Tyler Arboretum’s Fall Fireside. For families, young and old, it’s a night of shared experiences and playful adventures.
From food trucks and local beers to spirits and honey tasting, there’s nothing better then a cool autumn evening around a fire. Let your creative spirit soar as you wander through a large captivating exhibition inside the barn, by leading contemporary realist artists, inspired by the theme of “Titania’s Ball”. Titania is the Queen of the Fairies in A Midsummer Night’s Dream by William Shakespeare, and the artwork all relates to some aspect of this famous play.
This event is also the kickoff to our three-week temporary fall photo stations around the arboretum, Scenic Tyler! Come early to take a walk and celebrate autumn’s charm, while you explore, imagine, and create lasting memories.
