SUMMER EVENINGS: Extended Hours on Wednesdays and Thursdays
Make the most of the season’s long days and beautiful twilights with golden hour experiences at the Garden. Thursday Summer Evenings return, back by popular demand, and — new this year! — Extended Wednesdays offer even more opportunities to savor the summer. These events are rain or shine, and in case of inclement weather some activities will be moved indoors.
Extended Wednesdays and Thursday Summer Evenings are included with the cost of General Admission. We recommend purchasing your tickets online in advance to secure your preferred date. You can also purchase tickets in person at the Garden. If a date is listed as SOLD OUT, no more tickets will be released for that date and additional tickets will not be available at the door.
NEW! EXTENDED WEDNESDAYS: Sunset Sips + Twilight Tastings
August 7 through September 4 | 5–8pm
Join us for a midweek escape. Discover the Garden at twilight on your own or with guided tours, explore our new Craft & Cocktail series and other adult and family classes, soak in the sunset over the Wachusett Reservoir, and enjoy dinner and drinks from the Farmer and the Fork café. The Wednesday menu features delicious fare crafted with fresh, locally sourced ingredients that pair with drink specials from a rotating list of breweries and distilleries who will be onsite to spotlight the best of the libations.
THURSDAY SUMMER EVENINGS
Thursdays, August | 5–8pm
Enjoy live music by talented local musicians, a beer garden, lawn games, dinner specials, and more as you explore the Garden after-hours with friends and family. Hike serene, wooded trails, wander the gardens to enjoy the blooms, and catch the sunset over the Wachusett Reservoir. Plus, don’t miss our wide variety of scheduled workshops and classes for children and adults!
