9 months agoAnother great event at the festival. Parking depends on attendance, sound had been great as well as performers. Plenty of space for the chairs on the lawn. People dancing and having great time.

6 years agoAlways a good time with friends at the festival. Beautiful night. Musicians are a great eclectic selection. Plenty of space to sit. They allow coolers, alcohol and outside food! Family friendly. What's not to love about this free event that goes on start to mid summer annually!

6 years agoA great summer event series at the botanical gardens which allows free entry into the garden in the evening. This is a great opportunity to get into botanical gardens for free and explore the gardens. The main attraction are the musical performers, which are different each week. There is plenty of space to sit around, but come early if you want to sit in the main outdoor theatre area. There are vendors throughout the nearby area of the theatre to buy drinks and food. Overall a very enjoyable time to visit the gardens and enjoy some music with good company.

6 years agoThis is a free music concert held every Wednesday night during the summer at the Missouri botanical gardens. You can bring a picnic. The bands are different every week, all are very good. Sometimes there are alcohol vendors mixing specialty coctails. Generally thousands of people go every week.
