Entertainment
Enjoy the summer entertainment program as part of your general admission
ticket -- no extra charge for lovely evenings on the Concert Lawn or
for Firework Saturdays.
Each summer The Gardens complements the sights and scents with a festival of daily concerts and events. The open air concerts take place on the Concert Lawn stage. Come sit on a bench, or bring a blanket and sit on the lawn. You'll enjoy the on-stage performances and, on toe-tapping music nights, the performances by visitors' children who just have to frolic on the lawn. Even the swallows seem determined to perform with stellar overhead acrobatics.
On summer Saturday nights, after the concert, the excitement builds for the spectacular Fireworks show. The pyrotechnic displays are synchronized, amazingly by hand firing, with music. Come with a blanket to sit upon and enjoy a show you are unlikely to see unequalled anywhere in North America.
Christmastime brings not only ice skating, the 12 Days of Christmas displays, decorations and marvelous lighting, but also choral music, festive brass and entertainment for kids.
