Come and enjoy summer sounds with local artists, food trucks, vendors, crafts, and lawn games! The event is open to everyone, but Arboretum members can attend for free. To ensure you don’t miss out, reserve your spot online in advance. All are welcome to bring blankets, lawn chairs, and umbrellas, and enjoy a picnic dinner while listening to music on the lawn.

More Information

Gates open at 5:00 PM for picnicking, and the music begins at 6:00 PM. The last entry is at 7:30 PM. We highly recommend bringing lawn chairs and blankets. Umbrellas are welcome; however, we kindly ask guests using umbrellas to sit along the sides of the lawn so everyone can enjoy an unobstructed view. Our team will help monitor this during the performance. No outside alcohol is permitted.
