A guitarist and fiddle player perform at Evenings al Fresco at Denver Botanic Gardens.
Evenings al Fresco at Denver Botanic Gardens has become an essential part of Denver’s summer musical landscape and returns on select Monday and Wednesday evenings in June and August.
At Evenings al Fresco, Colorado musicians and small ensembles perform throughout the Gardens’ York Street location as visitors stroll and explore at their own pace. Reduced capacity allows for a more socially distanced experience. This collaborative series enhances the beauty of the Gardens with musical performances, providing respite and renewal in nature.
Music in the Gardens is presented by UMB Bank.
