CONCERT HAS MOVED TO THE LUTCHER THEATER

Due to recent heavy rainfall and the continuing threat of storms the rest of this week, the decision has been made to relocate the Symphony at Shangri La indoors to the Lutcher Theater. The event is co-hosted by the Lutcher Theater, Shangri La Gardens and the Symphony of Southeast Texas.

In the true spirit of this great collaboration, the teams are working together to make this experience as comparable as possible to past events at the gardens. The Lutcher will be decorated with fall festive decor, hay bales & pumpkins. There will also be a slide show featuring all of the Scarecrow Festival entries and much more.

Shangri La Botanical Gardens will be open to concert patrons from 1 to 4pm on Sunday to enjoy the Scarecrow Festival and gardens that are so vibrant and beautiful this time of year. Additionally, concert goers are encouraged to bring a picnic meal and enjoy a pre-concert meal in the garden.

The gardens will close at 4pm, concert goers are invited to make their way to the Lutcher Theater where the concert will begin at 5pm.

Tickets for General Admission seating is $20 Adults/ $10 Students; children 5 and under are free, but they DO need a ticket.

Roundtrip bus transportation from Beaumont will also be available for $30 through the Symphony of Southeast Texas office.
