Unlike a typical garden visit, Summer Nights at Filoli offers rare after-hours access to a historic estate and world-class garden. Enjoy golden hour views, live acoustic music, local food trucks, and sunset hikes—all with fewer crowds and a relaxed, festival-style vibe. It’s a midweek escape that blends natural beauty, culture, and community in one unforgettable evening.
Meet the Trolls during Summer Nights!
TROLLS: Save the Humans opens this summer at Filoli. The special exhibition features six activist Trolls that have come to teach humans how to rediscover nature and inspire humans to be good stewards of the earth. This all-new touring exhibition featuring Thomas Dambo’s signature folklore-inspired Troll sculptures are built from reclaimed materials and will delight visitors of all ages.
These giant creatures will be located within Filoli's Natural Lands for guests to discover on their adventures through the property.
Every Wednesday and Thursday evening this summer, experience Filoli like never before with exclusive after-hours access. As the sun sets behind the mountains, the magic of Summer Nights at Filoli begins to unfold. Stroll through the Garden, enjoy live acoustic music, savor local food trucks, or hike the Natural Lands at sunset. Whether you’re looking for a unique after-work happy hour or a family-friendly outdoor activity, Summer Nights has something for everyone.
