Summer Evening Hours at the Garden (On-site Special Event)
Friends of the U.S. Botanic Garden Beginning at 5 p.m., enjoy live music by Night Hawk as you explore the Conservatory. Night Hawk is an American indie rock band with delicate guitar work, enchanting harmonies, and clear-eyed lyricism. The band blends mellifluous violin and finger-style guitar with the raw energy of barnstorming indie and alternative rock, creating a sonic palette that is as expansive as it is emotionally precise. 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. This event is offered in collaboration with the Friends of the U.S. Botanic Garden.
