Summer Evening Hours at the Garden (with TrapCellist!)

Join us for extended evening hours this summer at the U.S. Botanic Garden! On the third Thursday of each month – June 19, July 17, August 21, and September 18, 2025, the Conservatory will stay open until 8:00 p.m. for visitors to explore the USBG plant collection, enjoy live music and refreshments at our four extended evening hour events. Beginning at 5 p.m. on Sept. 18, enjoy live music by TrapCellist as you explore the Conservatory. Area native Chanel Kelly will blend classical technique with modern genres, including R&B, soul, and hip-hop on acoustic cello.

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.
