Summer Evening Hours at the Garden (On-site Special Event)

Friends of the U.S. Botanic Garden 
Join us for extended evening hours this summer at the U.S. Botanic Garden! On the third Thursday of each month – June 18, July 16, August 20, and September 17, 2026 –  the Conservatory will stay open until 8 p.m. for visitors to explore the USBG plant collection while enjoying live music and refreshments at our four extended evening hour events.  

Beginning at 5 p.m., enjoy live music by Breonna Sharde’ as you explore the Conservatory. Breonna blends soul, jazz, and bossa nova with a vibrant hint of disco, bringing a high-energy performance. 

In partnership with the Friends of the U.S. Botanic Garden, local vendors Vintage Views will have lemonade, botanical non-alcoholic mocktails, and snacks available for purchase. Additionally, local frozen treat vendor Here’s The Scoop will have gourmet ice cream and non-dairy sorbet available for purchase.
