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 Fuzzy Goldmine as you explore the Conservatory. A DMV local funk band with elements of jazz, soul, rock, and a whole lot of flair, this performance will feature storytelling, funky outfits, comedic relief, and music made to move to. 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.
