Celebrate spring in full flight during two special late-night evenings at Frederik Meijer Gardens & Sculpture Park. Spring Nights invites guests to experience the magic of twilight among vibrant tropical blooms and more than 7,000 butterflies in flight.
A special addition to our beloved Fred & Dorothy Fichter Butterflies Are Blooming exhibition, Spring Nights at Meijer Gardens fills the Lena Meijer Tropical Conservatory and surrounding spaces with live music from local artists. Each performance creates a unique soundtrack to your flutter-filled stroll.
Sip and savor your way through the evening with beverages available for purchase—crafted to complement the warmth and wonder of spring. Guests 21 and older could also enjoy specialty cocktails and a curated bar menu, while everyone is invited to indulge in themed treats and beverages available for purchase in the James & Shirley Balk Café.
Entertainment: Hipster Disco
Discotopia returns to the roots of Hipster Disco with a journey through the DNA of the dancefloor. The night opens with a nod to classic disco before quickly evolving into its modern descendants—house, disco house and nu-disco. Expect soulful grooves and uplifting rhythms that bridge the golden era of the discotheque with contemporary dance music. It’s the sound that built the Hipster Disco movement: timeless, euphoric and made for losing yourself on the floor.
