Peonies bloom at the Georgeson Botanical Garden in 2021. The garden will host live music on Thursdays throughout the summer.
The University of ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ Fairbanks Music in the Garden concert series will kick off on May 26 at the Georgeson Botanical Garden, offering 12 weeks of family-friendly performances throughout the summer.
The series, which is organized by the University of ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ Fairbanks Summer Sessions and Lifelong Learning, will be held at 7 p.m. Thursdays through Aug. 11. Concerts are free, but donations to support the botanical garden are welcome.
This year the concerts also will include welcoming bands at 5:30 p.m. as people settle in for the concerts. Because parking is limited, attendees are encouraged to use a free shuttle that departs from the Nenana Parking Lot, which is across from the Patty Center, beginning at 6 p.m.
