Enjoy live music throughout the summer! This year, we welcome new and returning artists to our series, which occurs June through August every Sunday afternoon from 1:30-3 p.m. and Thursday evenings from 6-7:30 p.m. Music selection ranges from blues to folk, brass quintets to a Bob Dylan tribute band. There's something for everyone AND the series is included with your general daily admission to the Arboretum.
