Summer Evening Hours at U.S. Botanic Garden! | Kids Out and About DMV

Summer Evening Hours at U.S. Botanic Garden!

Join us for extended evening hours this summer at the U.S. Botanic Garden! On the third Thursday of each month – June 18, July 16, August 20, and September 17, 2026 – the Conservatory will stay open until 8 p.m. for visitors to explore the USBG plant collection while enjoying live music and refreshments at our four extended evening hour events.

Please help us keep this calendar up to date! If this activity is sold out, canceled, or otherwise needs alteration, email mindy@kidsoutandabout.com so we can update it immediately. If you have a question about the activity itself, please contact the organization administrator listed below.

Beginning at 5 p.m., enjoy live music by Night Hawk as you explore the Conservatory. Night Hawk is an American indie rock band with delicate guitar work, enchanting harmonies, and clear-eyed lyricism. The band blends mellifluous violin and finger-style guitar with the raw energy of barnstorming indie and alternative rock, creating a sonic palette that is as expansive as it is emotionally precise. 

In partnership with the Friends of the U.S. Botanic Garden, local vendors Vintage Views will have lemonade, botanical non-alcoholic mocktails, and snacks available for purchase. Additionally, local frozen treat vendor Here’s The Scoop will have gourmet ice cream and non-dairy sorbet available for purchase. 

This event is offered in collaboration with the Friends of the U.S. Botanic Garden. If you're interested in supporting educational programs and events through a donation to the Friends of the U.S. Botanic Garden, click here
