From 6 to 9pm Garden-goers can delight in live music under the Rose Garden Pavilion and browse displays from local artists throughout the Garden. Guests can also wine and dine on the tapas and drinks available for purchase on the Garden terrace. Picnic dinners for two are available for pre-purchase at www.riverbanks.org. Order your picnic basket by 5pm the Tuesday before the event, and it will be ready and waiting when you arrive.

“Riverbanks Botanical Garden is the perfect venue for springtime events,” said Andy Cabe, botanical garden director at Riverbanks Zoo and Garden. “Rhythm and Blooms allows us to showcase the Garden to a different audience – one that may not visit during the day.”

With a different band each week, Rhythm and Blooms promises a budding new experience every time.
