Music on the Esplanade Evenings

Tuesdays in June, July, and August, 6 to 9 p.m.
Take the trolley to Music on the Esplanade.

 

Unwind after your work day as you listen to relaxing performances by local musicians set on the Chicago Botanic Garden's front lawn. This live musical series showcases an assortment of genres including Spanish guitar, jazz, and blues. The Esplanade offers a beautiful setting for great entertainment and seating for a wide variety of guests—and only on concert evenings, you may have a picnic there as well!

Top off the evening with light fare and a glass of wine, premium beer, or other beverages available for purchase on the Esplanade.

See what other summer evening offerings are at the Garden!

Admission is free. Parking is $15; free for members.
