Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens has announced record attendance for Gardens Aglow this year. So far, 31,710 have attended, up 45 percent from last year’s count this far into the show, 21,726.
“The advance ticket sales for this coming weekend are also very strong,” said CMBG’s Kris Folsom. “In fact, Saturday is already sold out. If the weather holds, we are anticipating meeting or exceeding our goal of more than 90,000 guests for Gardens Aglow this year.”
Folsom said Gardens Aglow has moved into the number one spot on USA Today’s 10Best Botanical Garden Holiday Lights with three days to go until final votes are counted.
