The local artistic community will be in the spotlight, when NIGHT LIGHTS at Griffis Sculpture Park returns for its 12th consecutive autumn. The amazing sculpture park will be illuminated in colorful theatrical lighting when NIGHT LIGHTS at Griffis Sculpture Park returns on Friday, September 19, 2025. A portion of the legendary park’s landscape and sculptures are seen in a whole different light.
New to NIGHT LIGHTS this year will be artistic performers and artists on each night. Local musicians, painters, storytellers, LED hoopers, instrumentalists, poetry and more will be displaying their talents throughout the NIGHT LIGHTS trail system. The artist's appearances are made possible through a grant from Cattaraugus Region Community Foundation. Guests are encouraged to dress for outdoor conditions and bring flashlights for a few darker sections of the trail. NIGHT LIGHTS will close on evenings of excessive rain. Weather announcements are made on the sculpture park’s Facebook and Instagram pages.
