Experience Biltmore® after dark with Luminere™, an outdoor light and sound show that transforms the Biltmore House. Starting March 26, 2026, on select nights, the Biltmore House becomes a canvas telling its remarkable story. The show begins after dusk on select nights. There are seven illumination sites and options to purchase cocktails, artisan picnic meals, and more as you enjoy strolling through the immersive experience. 

This is new, exciting way to combine sunset mountain views, Biltmore history, and starlit skies. Tickets start at $60.

As sunset fades, projected light and scenes dances across America's Largest Home and the surrounding landscape. The gardens come alive with light. You can walk through and explore at your own pace under night skies. Stop by the Walled Garden Bar and Conservatory Café for grab-and-go drinks and bites.
