Beginning in early October and continuing through the end of the year (approximately three months), thelighting around Vulcan’s pedestal and on the statue itself will be impacted as a part of the renovation progress.

For the enhanced enjoyment of evening guests, the museum inside Vulcan Center will remain open until 10:00 p.m. at no additional charge.
