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

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 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.
