CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — Many in our community grabbed their Hawaiian gear and headed out to the South Texas Botanical Gardens for a special event Friday night.
As you can see, The Moonlight Luau, was a beautiful celebration.
Between a live performance from Aloha Dave and hula lessons from the Pacific Islanders' Polynesian dancers, the event had the full recipe for a fun-filled night, all for a good cause!
Those who dined on the luau-inspired food and drinks and mingled with the garden's parrots and iguanas were helping the botanical garden's environmental education program.
It was an event that had first-timers saying that they would definitely be back next year.
"I think it's gorgeous. I think it's beautiful. I think it's amazing, they outdid themselves! The band, the music, it's really outstanding, really nice," said attendee Norma Ovalle.
A reminder, you don't need a special party to bask in the beauty of the Botanical Gardens!
You can head over anytime and spend the day exploring nature, while supporting the center.
