Summer Evening Hours at the Garden

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., enjoy live music by Tornado Rose as you explore the Conservatory. This upbeat Americana and bluegrass band will feature gorgeous vocals and high-flying strings.

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.
