Explore 21 large, illuminated geometric sculptures after dark, including interactive works that families may touch, spin, or enter where indicated. Light and shadow transform the installations as the sun sets, with live music and food and drinks available for purchase. Doors open at 6 p.m.; the best viewing follows sunset, and final entry is at 9 p.m.
The event runs rain or shine. It uses no moving or flashing lights, though a few pieces have slowly changing illumination. Calming rooms are available, and children's activity guides cover levels from PreK–K through grade 12. The Children's Garden is closed during LightForm. Free parking is offered at the main and overflow lots.
