Aquarium Aglow
The wonder of the season comes alive at Aquarium Aglow, elegant evenings of holiday celebration in the heart of downtown Charleston. Boom emerged in the waves of color from tens of thousands of lights. Installations from warm and nostalgic to awe-inspiring and contemporary, transform the aquarium. Combined with interactive displays and refreshments, Aquarium Aglow will please the whole family.
