Enjoy live music on Sundays throughout the summer and into fall at the Arboretum!
Local bands and community groups will perform 1:30-3 p.m. on Newton Terrace outside of Rootstock Cafe (or indoors in bad weather). The final performance of the season will be on a Saturday in MacMillan Auditorium.
Rootstock will be open with food, beer and wine for sale, as well as the Rootstock Ice Cream Cart (weather permitting). Visitors can enjoy the entire Arboretum before or after the performance.
Music in the Garden is included with general daily admission to the Arboretum.
